<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top), which represents how many parts out of the whole, and the denominator (number below), which shows how many parts make the whole. A mixed number like 1 2/8 consists of a whole number and a fraction. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a 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>
