Explanation:&amp;nbsp;If you multiply&amp;nbsp;0.17&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;by&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;100&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;you get&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;17&amp;nbsp;0.17×100=17&amp;nbsp;Similarly, if you divide&amp;nbsp;17&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;by&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;100&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;, you get&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;0.17.&amp;nbsp;Thus, the fraction form for&amp;nbsp;0.17&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;17100&amp;nbsp;17÷100=0.17=17100&amp;nbsp;The numerator cannot be divided by a common factor, therefore,&amp;nbsp;17&amp;nbsp;, and the denominator,&amp;nbsp;100&amp;nbsp;, besides&amp;nbsp;1&amp;nbsp;.17100&amp;nbsp;is the final answer.
