think logically, the whole no. part of the mixed fraction is 51 so obviously, the answer should be 51 point something.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
by calculation its 10.8375
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you explain how you got 10.8375?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you need to divide 17/80 and add it to 51

u dont add...u multiply it by 51
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, the question would READ 51 and 17/80ths (so adding)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it's not a math problem, it's a simplification problem (if i understand correctly).
OpenStudy (anonymous):
moyo is right. there is no multiplication sign between 51 and 17/80.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
turning a fraction into a decimal is how i understand it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, its a mixed fraction
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it's not asking to SOLVE the problem, it's asking to simplify by turning a GIVEN NUMBER into a decimal.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the given number happens to be a fraction that stands on its own.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
