11 3/5 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn mixed numbers and decimals. A mixed number combines a whole number and a fraction. In this case, 11 is the whole number, and 3/5 is the fractional part. A decimal is a way to represent numbers that are 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.
