Question

how do u write 8.25 as a mixed number in the simplest form

Answer 1

\(\bf 8.\underline{25}\implies \cfrac{825}{1\underline{00}}\) simplify

Answer 2

ok...a mixed number is a whole number and a fraction

8.25 ..... the whole numbers can be found to the left of the decimal. Therefore, the whole number is 8

now look at the numbers to the right of the decimal....what place value is the last number (5) in ? It is in the hundreths place....so your decimal can be written as 25/100.

So now we have 8 25/100 which reduces to 8 1/4 -- ( 8 and 1/4)
