What is 11 wholes and 3 over 5 in a decimal?

Answer 1

5 and 3/11. We can estimate this without the use of a calculator. However it would be advisable to use a calculator for accuracy.

We already know one number: 5 the five is safe because of it being a whole number.

So thus we know: 5.__

Now we need to look at 3/11. If we look at 3/10 and understand that this is .30 and that 3/11 has a bigger part of this whole, which means the colored area fills in less, that this number itself will be less than .30. So we can figure that it would be about .29

So thus we've estimated that 5 3/11 as a decimal would be ~5.29.

If you want to be more accurate and use a calculator we'll first need to turn the proper fraction into an improper fraction (5/4, 3/2, etc).

So the denominator always stays the same. Which is 11. Now we have the 5 and the 3, take the 5 and multiply it by 11, which is 55. Finally add the top number which is 3. 55 + 3 = 58 and our denominator stayed the same.

58/11 is our improper fraction. Simply divide 58 by 11. to reveal 5.2727.

5.27 is exactly 0.02 away from our total, which is pretty darn close.

Answer 2

11 3/5= 11*5+3=58/5= 11.6

write out fraction > convert into improper fraction> divide the numerator by the denominator.
