Question

How do you express $6.83$ as a mixed number $?$

Answer 1

Hint: The mixed number is the combination of the whole number and fraction it’s also known as a mixed fraction. To convert any decimal value to mixed we need to convert it into fraction form and to convert the decimal number/value to a fraction then placing the decimal number/value over the power ten.
For example: let us assume that the decimal number is $4.1$ then to convert into a fraction
Since there is one digit to the right of the decimal point then place the decimal point over ten in the denominator and next add the whole number $4$to the left of the decimal. If there are two digits after the decimal point then to convert it into place the power of ${{10}^{2}}$in the denominator.
$\Rightarrow 4+\dfrac{1}{10}$
The above number can be written as $4\dfrac{1}{10}$.

Complete step by step solution:
In the question given number is $6.83$
In the above number,$6.83$there are two digits at the right of the decimal point then to convert it into a mixed number just placing the power of ${{10}^{2}}$in the denominator of the after the decimal point and add the whole number which is left of the decimal point
$\Rightarrow 6+\dfrac{83}{100}$.

We can rewrite the above-mixed number as $6\dfrac{83}{100}$

Notes:
The mixed number is combined of two numbers, first is the whole number and the second is a fraction. The fraction must be proper (the denominator is greater than the numerator).
