HOW TO FIND THE DECIMAL EQUIVALENT TO A MIXED FRACTION?

Remember - the fraction bar is a divide sign.

Just leave the whole nnumber part and divide the fraction part.

16 3^7 7÷3=16.4285

To find the decimal equivalent of a mixed fraction, you need to convert the fraction into decimal form. Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction. To do this, you need to multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and add the numerator. Write the result as the new numerator with the original denominator.

Step 2: Divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal equivalent.

Let's take an example to illustrate the process:

Example: Convert the mixed fraction 2 1/4 into a decimal.

Step 1: Multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (4) and add the numerator (1). This gives us: 2 * 4 + 1 = 9.
So the improper fraction equivalent of 2 1/4 is 9/4.

Step 2: Divide the numerator (9) by the denominator (4): 9 ÷ 4 = 2.25.

Therefore, the decimal equivalent of the mixed fraction 2 1/4 is 2.25.
