To write a fraction as a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator. 1/6 would become 1 divided by 6. 1 / 6 = 0.16 (repeating bar over the 6). However, there are different ways to put a fraction in decimal form. 2 3/4 can become a decimal if the denominator is 100 (or any form of 10). 3/4 x 25/25 is 75/100. The decimal would be 2.75. 98 2/3 becomes 98.66 (since 1/3 is 0.3 (repeating bar over the 3). Now, 26 isn't a fraction or decimal... we are figuring out area. The formula for the area of a square is a = length times width. We can use the square root of 125 to solve this... which would be 11.18. Yet, we are rounding to the nearest mile which would be 11 miles.
