How do you do mixed numbers in simplest form?

Answer 1

The part before the decimal number forms the whole number of the mixed number and the part after the decimal point is converted to a fraction and reduced to simplest form and put after the whole number.

Examples:

• 7.5

Whole number: 7

Fraction: .5 = 5/10 = 1/2

Mixed form of 7.5 = 71/2

• 12.25

Whole number: 12

Fraction: .25 = 25/100 = 1/4

Mixed form of 12.25 = 121/4
