Lesson One hundred and Thirty: Equivalent Decimals and Mixed Numbers

Converting mixed numbers to decimal values is just as easy as converting fractions to decimals. Here are some examples: 


	4 1/10 = 4.1			3 1/5 = 3.2

	5 3/4 = 5.75			2 1/2 = 2.5
The whole number portion of the mixed number doesn't change when you convert to a decimal. All you do is write the whole number and add the converted fraction on the end as a decimal. Here are a few more examples: 

	2 2/4 = 2.5			111 1/5 = 111.2

	3 4/5 = 3.8			2 3/10 = 2.3

Now you get to try a few for yourself.
