Match the fraction with its equivalent decimal form of the number. 1. 1 /23
2. 1 3/5
3. 1 1/4
4. 1 33/50

Choices are 1.6, 1.6 with line above 6, 1.25, and 1.66

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The overbar on decimal digits means they repeat forever.

Any fraction with a denominator consisting of powers of 2 and/or 5 will terminate. These can be converted to decimal by multiplying the fraction by a number to make the denominator an appropriate power of ten.

  1 2/3 = 1.66666666666... repeating

  1 3/5 = 1 (3·2)/(5·2) = 1 6/10 = 1.6

  1 1/4 = 1 (1·25)/(4·25) = 1 25/100 = 1.25

  1 33/50 = 1 (33·2)/(50·2) = 1 66/100 = 1.66

Of course, your calculator can tell you the decimal equivalents, too.
