Answer

Explanation

 

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task for students that can be done easily. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

 

Step 1: Firstly, any decimal number should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 16.24 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 16.24 becomes 16.24/1.
