<p>This is a basic question on decimal conversion. To start, we need to understand mixed numbers and decimals. A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. The fraction has a numerator (the number on top) and a denominator (the number below). A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>
