1.36 means 1 36/100 which is a perfectly good answer. Some people prefer to remove the prime factors common to the numerator and denominator. 36=2x2x3x3 and 100=2x2x5x5. Removing the common 2x2 leaves 3x3/5x5 which is 9/25, so the answer is 1 9/25. Another way of expressing it is 34/25 which some people call "improper." Actually, there are an infinite number of different ways to express 1.36 in fractional form, but I'll stop now.
