<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of the whole. It has two parts: numerator (number on the top) and denominator (number below). In mixed numbers like 11 1/8, the whole number is 11, the numerator is 1, and the denominator is 8. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 1 by 8. Since 1 is smaller than 8, we will add a decimal point to the quotient and a 0 to the dividend, making it 10.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 10 by 8. 8 goes into 10 once, so we write 1 in the quotient place and subtract 8 from 10, giving us a remainder of 2.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide 10 by 8. 8 goes into 10 once, so we write 1 in the quotient place and subtract 8 from 10, giving us a remainder of 2.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 20. Divide 20 by 8. 8 goes into 20 two times, so we write 2 in the quotient and subtract 16 from 20, resulting in a remainder of 4.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 20. Divide 20 by 8. 8 goes into 20 two times, so we write 2 in the quotient and subtract 16 from 20, resulting in a remainder of 4.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 40. Divide 40 by 8. 8 goes into 40 exactly five times, so we write 5 in the quotient and have a remainder of 0. Thus, 1/8 as a decimal is 0.125.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 40. Divide 40 by 8. 8 goes into 40 exactly five times, so we write 5 in the quotient and have a remainder of 0. Thus, 1/8 as a decimal is 0.125.</p>

<p><strong>Adding this to the whole number 11, we get 11.125 as the decimal representation of 11 1/8.</strong></p>
