How do I convert a mixed number into a decimal?

Answer 1

Please see below.

If you have a mixed number f type #a b/c#, just convert #b/c# into decimal form.
As #b/c# is a rational number, it would be either be a limiting decimal or non-limiting but repeating decimal. Round it to the nearest decimal place if desired.
Further, as #b/c<0#, it will have just #0# to the left of the decimal portion. Now add #a# towards the left of decimal and you have your result.
For example in #5 3/8#, we have #3/8=(3xx125)/(8xx125)=375/1000=0.375#
Hence #s 3/8=5.375# or #5.38#, if you round up to two places of decimals.
In #3 5/7#,
#5/7=0.714285714285714285714285....#,
hence #3 5/7=3.714285714285714285714285....# or #3.7143#, rounded up to four places of decimal.

Answer 2

To convert a mixed number into a decimal:

  1. Multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction.
  2. Add the result to the numerator of the fraction.
  3. Divide the sum by the denominator of the fraction.

The resulting quotient is the decimal representation of the mixed number.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
