Question

how do i convert 5.27 to a proper or mix number

Answer 1

Here's how to convert 5.27 to a fraction...

There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write 5.27 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .27, means.

Since there are 2 digits in 27, the very last digit is the "100th" decimal place.

So we can just say that .27 is the same as 27/100.

So your final answer is: 5.27 can be written as the fraction
