Marcus is making granola mix. He needs 6.125 cups of granola. His measuring cups are only in fractions. How many cups is 6.125 in fraction form? Simplify, if possible.(1 point)
6 125/1,000
6 1/25
6 1/8
6 5/4
I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that 245 is a whole number, not a fraction.
To express 6.125 in fraction form, simplified if possible, it would be 6 1/8.
To convert 6.125 to a fraction, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 to get rid of the decimal point:
6.125 * 1000/1 = 6125/1
Simplifying this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor of 25:
6125/1 ÷ 25/1 = (6125 ÷ 25)/(1 ÷ 25) = 245/1
Therefore, 6.125 in fraction form (simplified) is 245/1. However, we can also express it as a mixed number:
245/1 = 245 ÷ 1 = 245
So, 6.125 is also equal to 245 in fraction form (as a mixed number).

To express 6.125 cups as a fraction, we can convert the decimal to a fraction form.
Step 1: Ignore the decimal point and write down the number as a fraction over 1.
6.125 → 6125/1000
Step 2: Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 125.
6125/1000 = (6125 ÷ 125)/(1000 ÷ 125) = 49/8
So, 6.125 cups is equivalent to the fraction 49/8.
To convert the decimal number 6.125 into a fraction, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Count the number of decimal places in the number. In this case, there are three decimal places.
Step 2: Write down the number without the decimal point as the numerator. For 6.125, the numerator would be 6125.
Step 3: Write 1 followed by the same number of zeroes as there are decimal places as the denominator. Since there are three decimal places, the denominator would be 1000.
Now, you have the fraction 6125/1000. To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 6125 and 1000 is 125.
Dividing both numerator and denominator by 125 gives:
6125 ÷ 125 = 49
1000 ÷ 125 = 8
So, the simplified fraction form of 6.125 is 49/8.
Therefore, the answer is option: 6 1/8.
