Mari's cat weighs 12.37 pounds. What is this weight written as a mixed number?

Answer 1

The number has two parts the whole number part is 12, and decimal part is .37

12 would be the whole number part of your mixed fraction and we will convert the .37 to become the fraction part of your mixed fraction.

You have to convert the decimal part into fraction

since there are two decimal places you will have 100 in the denominator

so .37 becomes 37/100

simplify this fraction if possible.

your mixed fraction would be 12 37/100
