you multiply the large number by the denominator and then add the numorator. This will give you an improper fraction. Then you divide the numorator by the denominator and this gives you a decimal.

ex. 2 1/2 that turns into 5/2 divid this and it comes out to 2.5

Isn't easier to start with the fraction and then add the whole number?

example A: 2 1/2: 1 divided by two (1/2) = 0.5 (fraction first)

Add whole number 2: 2+0.5= 2.5

example B: 5 and 9/16 (or 5 9/16 as the plebs would put it) is fraction first 9/16=0.5625

Add whole number 5: 5+0.5625=5.5625 millimetres, miles, inches, feet, whatever.
