Answer:  Owen's height in Mixed number : \(147\dfrac{3}{10}\) cm

Owen's height in Improper fraction : \(\dfrac{1473}{10}\) cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Owen is 147.3 cm tall.

We can write 147.3 as :

\(147.3=147+0.3\)            (1)

We can write 0.3 as : \(0.3=\dfrac{3}{10}\)

Now (1) becomes, \(147.3=147+\dfrac{3}{10}\)

which can be written as mixed fraction as : \(147+\dfrac{3}{10}=147\dfrac{3}{10}\)

In improper fraction , it will becomes : \(147+\dfrac{3}{10}=\dfrac{147(10)+3}{10}=\dfrac{1473}{10}\)
