Answer 1

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:
