To express 6.125 cups in fraction form, we need to determine the equivalent fraction.
Since there are 8 fluid ounces in a cup, we can first convert 6.125 cups into ounces by multiplying it by 8:
6.125 cups * 8 ounces/cup = 49 ounces
Now, we can express 49 ounces as a fraction by using a denominator of 8 (since there are 8 ounces in a cup):
49 ounces = 49/8 cups
Therefore, in fraction form, 6.125 cups is equal to 49/8 cups.

To convert a decimal number like 6.125 into a fraction, follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify the place value of the decimal number. In this case, we have three digits after the decimal point, so our number is in the thousandths place.
Step 2: Write down the decimal number as the numerator (top number) of the fraction. In this case, our numerator is 6.125.
Step 3: Write down the denominator (bottom number) of the fraction. The denominator is based on the place value of the decimal number. Since our number is in the thousandths place, the denominator will be 1000.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction, if possible. In this case, we can simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 125.
Dividing 6.125 and 1000 by 125 gives us:
6.125 ÷ 125 = 0.049
