8 15/16 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

This topic explores the conversion of a mixed number to a decimal. Understanding fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals is crucial. A mixed number combines a whole number and a fraction. The fraction consists of a numerator (the top number), representing parts of the whole, and a denominator (the bottom number), indicating 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. Numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole part, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
