Answer:

31/5 OR 6 1/5 (Depends if your teacher wants an improper fraction or a mixed number.)

Explanation:

First, rewrite the decimal as a fraction with 1 as the denominator.

6.2 = 6.2/1

Nest, multiply to remove one decimal place so it's easier to solve.

6.2 x 10 = 62 and 1 x 10 = 10 so... that would be 62/10

Find to GCF of both 62 and 10, or in other words something that they are both divisible by. That would be 2, and now you can simplify the fraction further.

62/2 = 31 and 10/2 = 5 so that would be 31/5, which is 6 1/5 as a mixed number.

I hope this was useful!! :)
