Question

How would I write and work 3 1/5 as a decimal

Answer 1

first convert It into an improper fraction and then divide the numerator by denominator to get the answer in decimals

16/5=5.2

Answer 2

Because it has 3 wholes it will be three point something but you have to to turn 1/5 into tenths so you multiply each side by 2 and get 2m10 which is point two so you add them together and get 3.2
