Do any of you know how to easily and properly convert a mixed fraction to a decimal?

Here's a 2 step conversion.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert the fraction to a decimal: Divide the numerator by the denominator

2. Add this decimal number to the whole number part of the mixed number

A mixed number is a whole number plus a fraction. To find the decimal form of a fraction just divide the numerator by the denominator using a calculator or long division. Then add the decimal number to the whole number.

Example: Convert the mixed number 7 1/4 to a decimal

Convert the fraction to a decimal: Divide 1 by 4

1 ÷ 4 = 0.25

Add 0.25 to the whole number 7:

7 + 0.25 = 7.25

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.  

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.
