Question

How to convert 1 3/10

Answer 1

`(13)/(10) =1.3.`

Explanation:

1. Write the mixed fraction.

`1(3)/(10)`

2. Express the mixed fraction as an addition.

When converting a mixed fraction to addition, you want to write the proper fraction in the right (
`(3)/(10)`) and add a fraction with the numerator and denominator being the same number as the denominator in the proper fraction (
`(10)/(10)`) as many times as the number you have next to the proper fraction. For example, to convert this number to addition form we write:

`(3)/(10) +(10)/(10)`

Notice that we only write
`(10)/(10)` once, because one os the number next to the proper fraction which it
`(3)/(10)`.

3. Solve the addition of fractions.

`(3)/(10) +(10)/(10)=(3+10)/(10) =(13)/(10)`

4. Express the final result.

`(13)/(10) =1.3.`
