Question

how to convert 8.6 into mixed numbers

Answer 1

First of all, we can use this fraction:

8.6/1

Now, move the decimal one place to the right to make the numbers whole.

86/10

Divide and find the remainder.

86 / 10 = 8 remainder 6.

8 would be the big number, 6 the numerator, and 10 the denominator. That looks like this:

$8 \frac{6}{10}$

We can simplify 6 and 10, though, by dividing both of them by 2.

6 / 2 = 3
10 / 2 = 5

Now, we have this:

$8 \frac{3}{5}$
