Which of the following is equal to 1.66 in lowestterm? a.166/1000 b.166/100 c.58/50 d.29/25

Work Shown:

1.66 = 1.66/1.00

1.66 = 166/100

1.66 = 83/50

In the second step, I moved the decimal point over to the right two spaces for each value. So 1.66 turns into 166 and 1.00 turns into 100. This is the same as multiplying top and bottom by 100.

In the third step, I divided both parts by the GCF 2. So 166/2 = 83 and 100/5 = 50.

You should have 83/50 in your answer choices, but it's not listed. So the next best thing is 166/100.
