Answer:

9.916...

Step-by-step explanation: (The "6" is repeating)

Divide using long division. The whole number portion will be the number of times the denominator of the original fraction divides evenly into the numerator of the original fraction, and the fraction portion of the mixed number will be the remainder of the original fraction division over the denominator of the original fraction.

This gives us a mixed number-fraction: 9 and 11/12.

If we then turn this into a simplified fraction, then it becomes 119/12. Turn that into a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

This gives us our answer of 9.916...!!! Hope that helps!
