Answer:

As a decimal your answer: is 5.4 rounded to the nearest tenth. As a mixed number fraction your answer is: 5 11/25. As a improper fraction your answer is: 136/25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically what I did was just divide 6.8 by 4/5. Or you could change 4/5 in a decimal and divide like that, OR change 6.8 into a fraction which is what if did- I’ll show you below. But, it’s better to have all solutions to the problem.

1) change 6.8 into fraction: 34/5

2) rewrite: 34/5 divide by 4/5

3) multiply: 136/25

4) alternative forms:

A. Mixed number- 5 11/25

B. Decimal: 5.44 or 5.4 rounded to nearest tenth.

I hope this helped, good luck! :)
