6.125 in fraction form is 6 and 1/8.
To express 6.125 cups in fraction form, we need to convert the decimal to a fraction.
The first step is to write the decimal as a fraction over 1. Since 6.125 is already in whole number form, we can write it as 6 125/1000.
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 125.
Dividing both 125 and 1000 by 125, we get:
6 (125 ÷ 125) / (1000 ÷ 125) = 6 1/8.
Therefore, 6.125 cups in fraction form is 6 1/8.
