What is 9 and 1 eighths as a decimal?

Answer 1

9(1/8)

1/8 < 1, so we know that this part of the mixed fraction will come after the decimal point.

9 >= 1, so we know that this par of the mixed fraction will come before the decimal point.

So:

9.(1/8) --> We need to determine what 1/8 is as a decimal

A fraction of 1/8 is the same as dividing 1 by 8.

1/8 = .125

Our final answer is therefore:

9.125

Answer 2

9 and 1/8 = 9.125
