How do you write 3.42 as a mixed number and a fraction?

Answer 1

3.42 = 171/50 or 3 21/50

Answer 2

To write 3.42 as a mixed number, you would separate the whole number part (3) from the decimal part (.42). The whole number part becomes the whole number of the mixed number, and the decimal part becomes the fraction. So, 3.42 as a mixed number is 3 42/100. To write 3.42 as a fraction, you would multiply the decimal by 100 to get rid of the decimal point, resulting in 342/100.

Answer 3

3.42 is a fraction. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction. Its equivalent, in rational form, is 342/100. Also, as a mixed number, it is 3 42/100. You can simplify these rational forms if you so wish.
