+2973 Hmmmm, .18 equals 18/100 because the last digit 8 is in the hundreds place
however, as you requested, 18/100 would not be an acceptable answer
that gives me no choice but to use a squeaky hammer to break this rock, or in math terms, simplify
18/100 can be divided by 2/2 because they both are equivalent, which would equal 9/50
we cannot simplify anymore because the factors of 9 and factors of 50 now don't have anything in common, just like this rock which is too tiny to be broken anymore
so, overall, .18 written as a fraction is 9/50
+2973 Anon, how could you get the answer right, but not show your work or describe the work you did? That's 1/2 points taken off your test for not showing your work!
