Answer 1

The answer is 6.875.

Answer 2

6.875

Explanation:

We have been given that after a storm Michael measured 6 7/8 inches of snow. We are asked to show this amount as a decimal.

We can represent our improper fraction as a whole and a part as:

`6(7)/(8)=6+(7)/(8)`

Let us convert
`(7)/(8)` as a decimal.

`6+(7)/(8)=6+0.875=6.875`

Therefore, the amount as a decimal would be 6.875.
