Answer 1

To convert 6.125 to fractional form, we can follow these steps:

1. Separate the whole number from the decimal: 6.125 can be expressed as \(6 + 0.125\).

2. Convert the decimal to a fraction: The decimal 0.125 can be written as \(\frac{125}{1000}\) (since 125 is in the thousandths place).

   Now we simplify \(\frac{125}{1000}\): \[ \frac{125 \div 125}{1000 \div 125} = \frac{1}{8} \]

3. Combine the whole number and the fraction: So we can express 6.125 as: \[ 6 + \frac{1}{8} = 6\frac{1}{8} \]

Therefore, in fractional form, \(6.125\) is \(6 \frac{1}{8}\).

Among the response options, the correct answer is: 6 Start Fraction 1 over 8 End Fraction.
