Answer:
Mixed number: 8.72=8 72/100
Improper fraction: 8.72= 872/100
Step-by-step explanation:
8 is in the ones place, 7 is in the tenths place, and 2 is in the hundreths place, which makes 8.72. In fractions, that would be 8 wholes, and 72/100, which is 8 72/100. After that, you can turn it into an improper fraction by doing 8x100, which is 800, then you add 72, which is 872. That makes 872 the numerator, and 100 the denominator, which makes 872/100.
Btw (I didn't simplify, as the problem states against it!)
