-8 9/10 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting mixed numbers to decimals is a simple process, but understanding fractions and decimals is essential. A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fractional part. The whole number, in this case, is -8, and the fractional part is 9/10. A decimal represents a number that is not whole by 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, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
