1) Since we can rewrite 12.1 as a fraction, let's do it placing on the numerator 121 and the on the denominator 10, like this:


12.1=(121)/(10)

2) But we can also write it as a mixed number, since 12.1 is greater than 1


12.1=(121)/(10)\text{ =12}(1)/(10)

Simply write the part to the right of the dot as, a fraction. In this case, 0.1 = 1/10
