Step 1: Write the digits right of the decimal as an integer. This is your numerator.
Step 2: Count the number of digits to the right of the decimal, then take 10 to this power. This number will be your denominator.
Step 3: reduce your new fraction, if possible.
EXAMPLE:
Write 12.125 as a mixed number.
numerator = 125
denominator = 103 (3 digits right of the decimal)
= 1000
125/1000 reduces to 1/8, so 12.125 = 12 1/8

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.
you turn percents into mixed numbers by turning the percent into a fraction then a mixed number
