A fraction is written in terms of two parts: the number on top is called the numerator and the number on the bottom is called the denominator. We can use the division method to solve this question. To get a decimal, simply divide the numerator 27 by the denominator 16:
27 (numerator) ÷ 16 (denominator) = 1.69
As a result, you get 1.69 as your answer when you convert 1 11/16 (or 27/16) to a decimal.
