Question

Marcus is making granola mix. He needs 6.125 cups of granola. His measuring cups are only in fractions. How many cups is 6.125 in fraction form? Simplify, if possible.(1 point)

6 125/1,000

6 1/25

6 1/8

6 5/4

Answer 1

To convert 6.125 to a fraction, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1000 to get rid of the decimal point:

6.125 * 1000/1 = 6125/1

Simplifying this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor of 25:

6125/1 ÷ 25/1 = (6125 ÷ 25)/(1 ÷ 25) = 245/1

Therefore, 6.125 in fraction form (simplified) is 245/1. However, we can also express it as a mixed number:

245/1 = 245 ÷ 1 = 245

So, 6.125 is also equal to 245 in fraction form (as a mixed number).

Answer 2

what do you mean by 245 in fraction form? thats a whole number

Answer 3

I apologize for the confusion. You are correct that 245 is a whole number, not a fraction.

To express 6.125 in fraction form, simplified if possible, it would be 6 1/8.
