Hi Megan,

We have two responses for you. Sue answered the question you sent. Penny thought that you might have meant to ask another question, and sent the solution to a different, more commonly asked question.

That's an odd question Megan.  Most often, we are asked about
equivalent decimals given a fraction or equivalent fractions given a
decimal.

I would say however, that 13.479999999999999... (9 repeating without
end) is equivalent to 13.48.

Reason:
13.47999999...
= 13.47 + .01 (.999999...)
= 13.47 + .01 9 (.111111...)
= 13.47 + .01 9 (1/9)
= 13.47 + .01 1
= 13.48

So these two are equivalent.

Hi Megan,

I think you mean

Write an equivalent fraction for 13.48

I am going to write an equivalent fraction for 1.56
If I multiply 1.56 by 100 then I move the decimal place two places to
the right and get 156. Hence
1.56 = 1.56 x 100/100 = 156/100
Hence 156/100 is an equivalent fraction for 1.56 but I can simplify
this fraction since both the numerator and denominator are divisible
by 2. Thus
156/100 = 78/50.
Can you simplify it further?
Penny
