Copy the whole number, add a decimal point, then create the decimal from the fractional part.
1 2/5 = (1).(2/5) = 1.4
If the decimal repeats, you can truncate it, round it, or show as a bar over the repeating part.
1 1/22 = 1.0454545 = 1.05 or 1.045 or 1.04¯5 (bar over 4 and 5)

mixed decimals
All numbers can be changed from fractions to decimals.
First, you draw a number line. You then make points for the counting numbers, and place the mixed numbers and decimals between these points, getting their own points and labels.
Fractions can be converted to decimals, percentages or mixed numbers.
Decimals include a fractional part, represented by digits to the right of the decimal point, while whole numbers only have a whole part, represented by digits to the left of the decimal point. Whole numbers can be positive or negative, while decimals can also be fractions or mixed numbers. Additionally, whole numbers are used to count while decimals are used for measurement and precision.
