Question #a530c

Answer 1

`1 6/7 = 1.86`

Explanation:

To find `1 6/7` as a decimal, work out the decimal part by dividing:

`6div 7 = 0.857142857.....` this an infinite recurring decimal.

`1 6/7 = 1.857142857...`

TO round to `2` decimal places, look at the digit in the `3rd` decimal place.

If it is `5` or more, then the `2nd` decimal will round UP.
If it is `4` or less, then the `2nd` decimal will stay the same.
