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

How do you convert improper fractions into mixed number fractions and vice versa?
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator. To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the denominator into the numerator. The answer is the whole number. Put any remainder over the original denominator to create the fraction part.
