To convert the decimal 2.125 into a fraction, we can break it down. The number 2.125 can be expressed as:
\[ 2.125 = 2 + 0.125 \]
Now, we know that:
\[ 0.125 = \frac{125}{1000} = \frac{1}{8} \] (after simplifying)
So,
\[ 2.125 = 2 + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{16}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{17}{8} \]
Now, let's express it in a mixed number or keep looking for the equivalent fraction.
\[ 2.125 = 2\frac{1}{8} \]
Thus, the correct answer is:
