What is the decimal notation for 8 3/6?
Answered by Cadavz
Change the mixed number into an improper fraction:

8 * 6 + 3 = 51/6

Divide the numerator by the denominator to get it in decimal notation.

51/6 = 8.5

Oh darn it, I forgot about simplification (still get a correct answer, but you work with larger numbers if you don't simplify).
