Best Answer

To convert a mixed number to a decimal, first move the whole number to the answer. Next, divide the top number in the fraction by the bottom to get a decimal. Add that to the whole number you already have.

2 3/8 = 2. ???

3/8= .325

2 + .325= 2.325

Decimals to mixed numbers is a bit trickier. Moving the whole number over is easy. Next, count the number of digits after the decimal point. Put the digits left over (with no decimal point) on top of 1 with as many zeroes as digits after the decimal point.

-For example, if my decimal is 6.125 there are 3 digits after the decimal point.

-I put .125 over 1 with three zeroes

-Lose the decimal point and it is 125/1000

Next, simplify your fraction and add the whole number.

6.125= 6 ??/??

125/1000= 1/8

6 + 1/8= 6 1/8
