Marcus is making granola mix he needs 6.125 cups of granola his measuring cups are only in fractions how many cups is 6.125 in fraction from simply if possible
To express 6.125 cups as a fraction, we can convert the decimal to a fraction by considering the place value of each digit:
6.125 = 6 + 0.1 + 0.02 + 0.005
To convert each decimal value into a fraction, we use the following conversions:
0.1 = 1/10
0.02 = 2/100 = 1/50
0.005 = 5/1000 = 1/200
So, we have:
6.125 = 6 + 1/10 + 1/50 + 1/200
Now, we can convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
6 = 6/1
1/10 = 1/10
1/50 = 1/50
1/200 = 1/200
Combining all the fractions, we have:
6 + 1/10 + 1/50 + 1/200 = (6 * 1) + (1/10) + (1/50) + (1/200)
= 6 + 1/10 + 1/50 + 1/200
= (6*200 + 1*200 + 1*40 + 1*1) / (200)
= (1200 + 200 + 40 + 1) / 200
= 1441/200
Therefore, 6.125 cups is equal to 1441/200 in fraction form.
To express 6.125 cups as a fraction, we can start by noticing that the number after the decimal point (0.125) can be written as the fraction 125/1000.
Next, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 125.
125/125 = 1
1000/125 = 8
So, 0.125 equals 125/1000, which simplifies to 1/8.
Therefore, 6.125 cups is equal to 6 and 1/8 cups.
