Mixed number: Mixed number is formed by associating a whole number with fraction numbers.
Decimal number: A number along decimal a point in it is called decimal number.
Mixed decimal number: A number having a decimal point in its mixed format is mixed decimal number.

Writing a mixed decimal:
Write a mixed decimal:
In the whole number part of mixed number the decimal point appears show that the number is mixed decimal.
It should be written as,
133.63 `1/5`
Conversion of mixed decimal into fraction:
Step 1: First see how many numbers present after the decimal point.
Step 2: Calculate number of 10’s equal to the counted digits after the decimal point.
Step 3: Put number of 10’s as denominator and the number is mixed decimal number.
Step 4: Convert the numerator mixed decimal number into fraction.
Step 5: Now simplify the terms by a common term.
Example problems for writing a mixed decimal:
Example: 1
Write the following mixed decimal number into fraction number.
12.5 2/3
Solution:
Given, mixed decimal number =12.5 2/3.
We have to add the 10 as the denominator and the mixed decimal number as numerator.
That is, `(125 2/3)/10`
= `(377/3)/10`
= `377/30`
=12`17/30`
Example: 2
Write the following mixed decimal number into fraction number.
5.22 1/2
Solution:
Given, mixed decimal number =5.22 1/2.
We have to add the 100 as the denominator and the mixed decimal number as numerator.
That is, `(522 1/2)/100`
= `(1045/2)/100`
= `1045/200`
=`209/20`
=1`9/20` .
Example: 3
Write the following mixed decimal number into fraction number.
15.123 1/5
Solution:
Given, mixed decimal number =15.123 1/5.
We have to add the 1000 as the denominator and the mixed decimal number as numerator.
That is, `(15123 1/5)/1000`
= `(75616/5)/1000`
= `75616/5000`
= 25 `616/5000`
= 25 `77/625` .
Answer: 25 `77/625` .
