Express 1.18 as a mixed number

Write the decimal number as a fraction

(over 1)

1.18 = 1.18 / 1

Multiplying by 1 to eliminate 2 decimal places

we multiply top and bottom by 2 10's

Numerator = 1.18 * 10 * 10 = 118

Denominator = 1 * 10 * 10 = 100

Numerator / Denominator = 118 / 100

Simplifying our fraction

= 118/100

= 59/50

= 1 9/50
