Answer 2

Decomposition of a fraction is defined as the , re-writing of the given fraction as the sum of different fraction with same denominator.

Here we are given with the number
`1(3)/(8)`

This can be decomposed as below:

`1(3)/(8)=1+(1)/(8)+(1)/(8)+(1)/(8)\\`

It can be again written in another form as below

`1(3)/(8)=1+(1)/(8)+(2)/(8)`
