<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), which represents how many parts out of the whole, and denominator (number below), which shows how many parts make the whole. In a mixed number, a whole number is combined with a fraction. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal point 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>
