Answer:

6.875

Explanation:

We have been given that after a storm Michael measured 6 7/8 inches of snow. We are asked to show this amount as a decimal.

We can represent our improper fraction as a whole and a part as:

6(7)/(8)=6+(7)/(8)

Let us convert
(7)/(8) as a decimal.

6+(7)/(8)=6+0.875=6.875

Therefore, the amount as a decimal would be 6.875.
