Explanation

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a straightforward task for students. You can follow the steps below to find the answer.

Step 1: Firstly, any decimal number should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 1.7 is the number on the numerator, and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 1.7 becomes 1.7/1.

Thus, 1.7 can be written as a fraction 17/10.
