How to Convert a Mixed Number to Decimal?
Converting a mixed number to a decimal involves converting the whole part and the fractional part of the mixed number into a single decimal number. Here is how it is done for the following mixed fraction:
- Convert the whole part to decimal: Simply divide the whole number by 1. For example, if the mixed number is 3 1/2, then the whole part is 3, and 3 divided by 1 is 3.
- Convert the fractional part to decimal: Divide the numerator (top part) of the fraction by the denominator (bottom part). For example, in the mixed number 3 1/2, the fractional part is 1/2, so divide 1 by 2 to get 0.5.
- Add the decimal representation of the whole part and the decimal representation of the fractional part. In our example, 3 + 0.5 = 3.5.
- The resulting decimal number is the decimal representation of the mixed number. In our example, 3.5 is the decimal equivalent of the mixed number 3 1/2.
