Answer 1

To convert the decimal 6.125 into a fraction, we can follow these steps:

1. Separate the whole number from the decimal:

   • The whole number part is 6.
   • The decimal part is 0.125.

2. Convert 0.125 to a fraction:

   • 0.125 is equivalent to \(\frac{125}{1000}\).
   • We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 125.
   • \(\frac{125 \div 125}{1000 \div 125} = \frac{1}{8}\).

3. Now we add the whole number back to the fraction:

   • So, \(6.125 = 6 + \frac{1}{8} = 6 \frac{1}{8}\).

Therefore, the simplified fraction form of 6.125 is 6 1/8.

The correct response is 6 1/8.
