how do you write .0125 as a fraction and mixed number in simplest form? Little confused.
0.0125 = 125/10,000 = 1/80
It can't be written as a mixed number because it's less than a whole number.

To convert a decimal to a fraction, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Write the decimal as a fraction by placing the decimal number over the appropriate power of 10.
In this case, the decimal is 0.0125, so we'll write it as 0.0125/1.
Step 2: Simplify the fraction, if possible.
To simplify the fraction, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator. In this case, both the numerator and denominator are already relatively prime, so the fraction cannot be simplified further.
Therefore, the fraction form of 0.0125 is 0.0125/1.
To convert the fraction to a mixed number, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Divide the numerator by the denominator.
In this case, divide 0.0125 by 1:
0.0125 ÷ 1 = 0.0125
Step 2: Express the decimal as a mixed number.
To express the decimal as a mixed number, first write down the whole number part. In this case, the whole number part is 0.
Next, take the decimal part and write it as the numerator of the fractional part. In this case, since the decimal is 0.0125, the numerator will be 125.
Finally, write down the denominator, which is the same as the denominator of the original fraction. In this case, the denominator is 1.
Putting it all together, the mixed number form of 0.0125 is 0 125/1.
However, this mixed number is not in its simplest form, as the fraction 125/1 can be further simplified.
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 125.
Dividing both numerator and denominator by 125 gives us:
125/125 ÷ 1/125 = 1 ÷ 1/125 = 1/125
Therefore, the simplified mixed number form of 0.0125 is 0 1/125.
