To convert 6.125 into fraction form, we can follow these steps:

  1. First, separate the whole number from the decimal: \(6.125 = 6 + 0.125\).

  2. Next, convert \(0.125\) into a fraction: \(0.125 = \frac{125}{1000}\). This fraction can be simplified: \(\frac{125}{1000} = \frac{1}{8}\) (dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 125).

  3. Now combine the whole number with the fraction: \(6 + \frac{1}{8} = 6 \frac{1}{8}\).

Thus, the answer is: 6 Start Fraction 1 over 8 End Fraction.

So the correct response is: 618 6 Start Fraction 1 over 8 End Fraction
