10 1/16 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A mixed number like 10 1/16 represents a whole number combined with a fraction. The number 10 represents the whole part, while 1/16 is the fractional part. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using 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.
