Anytime there is a number to the left of a decimal, it is a whole number. When the number is to the right of a decimal, it's only part of a whole number, or a fraction. Sowith 5.5, the 5 would be 5 wholes and .5 would be 5/10, which reduces to 1/2. So to convert 5.5 to a fraction, it would be 5 1/2 (five and one half).
