How to Convert Decimals to Fractions:
1. Write the decimal as a fraction with the denominator as a power of 10 (based on the number of decimal places).
2. Simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).

Now for
decimals with whole numbers (like 1.3, 6.2, etc.), we separate the whole number and convert the decimal part.
---
####
11. 1.3
- 1.3 = 1 + 0.3 = 1 + 3/10 =
1 3/10 or
13/10 (as improper fraction)
- Usually, mixed number is acceptable unless specified otherwise.
-
Answer: 1 3/10
####
12. 6.2
- 6.2 = 6 + 0.2 = 6 + 2/10 = 6 + 1/5 =
6 1/5
-
Answer: 6 1/5
####
13. 3.5
- 3.5 = 3 + 0.5 = 3 + 1/2 =
3 1/2
-
Answer: 3 1/2
####
14. 2.1
- 2.1 = 2 + 0.1 = 2 + 1/10 =
2 1/10
-
Answer: 2 1/10
####
15. 1.8
- 1.8 = 1 + 0.8 = 1 + 8/10 = 1 + 4/5 =
1 4/5
-
Answer: 1 4/5
####
