Emery Combs · Answer 1

Answer: 4/25

Step-by-step explanation: To write 0.16 as a fraction, we need to multiply to remove the two decimal places. In this case, we would put 0.16 over 1 and multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100. Next, we need to divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of 16 and 100 which is 4. Finally, our answer will be 4/25.
