To convert the decimal 0.16 to a fraction, follow these steps:

1. Write it as a fraction of 1:

0.16=

1. Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100 to eliminate the decimal places (because there are two decimal places in 0.16):

=

1. Simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator: The GCD of 16 and 100 is 4, so divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4:

=

The correct fraction representation of 0.16 is therefore ​.

So the answer is B 4/25.

To convert 45% to a decimal, move the decimal point two places to the left. This is because "percent" means "per hundred," so dividing by 100 effectively shifts the decimal point two places to the left:

45%=45 ÷ 100=0.45

Therefore, the correct answer is: A 0.45

To add the fractions ​ and , we will need a common denominator. The least common denominator between 8 and 2 is 8.

Convert 12​ to a fraction with 8 as the denominator:

= =

Now add the two fractions:

​+ = =

The result, ​, is an improper fraction, which can be converted into a mixed number:

=

Thus, the answer is A 1 1/8.

To find average items to be sold per day, divide the total items to sell by number of selling days remaining.

Averageitemsperday=TotalitemstosellNumberofsellingdays

Substitute the given numbers into the formula:

Items to sell – 63

Number of selling days – 18

Averageitemsperday=

Now, perform the division:

Averageitemsperday=3.5

Since all the items are not in fraction, round up to the next whole number.

Thus, the salesman needs to sell an average of 4 items per day.

The correct answer is: B 4
