To convert 6.125 to fraction form, we can start by representing the decimal as a fraction over 1: 6.125/1.
To simplify this fraction, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 to get rid of the decimal: (6.125 * 1000)/ (1 * 1000) = 6125/1000.
Next, we can reduce this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 25: (6125/25)/(1000/25) = 245/40.
Finally, we can further simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5: (245/5) / (40/5) = 49/8.
Therefore, 6.125 is equal to 49/8 in fraction form.
To express 6.125 cups in fraction form, we can convert the decimal to a fraction by multiplying it by a power of 10. In this case, we multiply by 1000 to remove the decimal point. So, 6.125 can be written as 6.125/1.
To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. In this case, the greatest common factor is 125. So, 6.125/1 can be simplified to (6.125/125) / (1/125).
Now, simplifying further, we get 49/8.
Therefore, 6.125 cups in fraction form is 49/8.
To express 6.125 cups as a fraction, we first need to convert the decimal to a fraction.
Step 1: Identify the place value of the last digit after the decimal point. In this case, the last digit after the decimal point is in the thousandths place.
Step 2: Write the decimal number as a fraction with the place value as the denominator. Since there are three digits after the decimal point, we'll use 1000 as the denominator.
6.125 can be written as 6 125/1000.
Step 3: Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, 125/1000 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 125:
(125 ÷ 125) / (1000 ÷ 125) = 1/8
So, 6.125 cups is equivalent to 6 1/8 cups in fraction form. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 1/8.
