r example: 6 1/2 = 13/2 = 6.5

For the first example, six and a half is equal to thirteen halves, which is then equal to six point five. To do this, the rule to turn a mix number into a fraction is by multiplying the 2 with the 6 and then add the answer to 1, which gives 13/2 (Remember to always give the same denominator). Finally, thirteenth halves is equal to six point five (because when you divide 13 by 2, you get 6 and one left over. To continue dividing, add a 0 , and so 10 goes into 2 is five. so the decimal is 6.5
