<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand mixed numbers and decimals. A mixed number combines a whole number and a fraction. In the fraction part, the numerator (number on the top) represents how many parts out of the whole, and the denominator (number below) shows how many parts make up the whole. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are 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 number, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>
