Alexandra bought 3 3/5 pounds of walnuts. What is the weight of the walnuts written as a decimal?

Answer 1

To convert 3 3/5 to a decimal, first convert the fraction 3/5 to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

3 ÷ 5 = 0.6

Now add the whole number and the decimal:

3 + 0.6 = 3.6

The weight of the walnuts is 3.6 pounds.
