What is 5.1 as a mixed number?

Answer 1

5.1 = 5 1/10

Answer 2

To convert 5.1 to fraction, follow these steps:

First write down the decimal number divided by 1 like this:

5.1

1

As we have 1 digits after the decimal point in the numerator, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 101 = 10, so that there is no decimal point in the numerator

5.1 × 10

1 × 10

=

51

10

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an improper fraction, so we can also express 5.1 as a mixed number, thus 51/10 is equal:

5

1

10

Therefore, 5.1 as a fraction is 51/10 and It is written as 5 1/10 in mixed number form.
