Answer 1

To convert 6.125 to a fraction, we can break it down as follows:

1. Identify the whole number and the decimal part:

   • The whole number is 6.
   • The decimal part is 0.125.

2. Convert the decimal part (0.125) to a fraction. The decimal 0.125 is equivalent to 125/1,000 because there are three decimal places (which means thousands).

3. Simplify 125/1,000:

   • Both 125 and 1,000 can be divided by 125:
     • 125 ÷ 125 = 1
     • 1,000 ÷ 125 = 8 So, 0.125 simplifies to 1/8.

4. Now combine the whole number with the fraction:

   • 6 + 1/8 = 6 1/8.

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

The correct response is: 6 1/8.
