When a decimal is written in word form, what indicates that the equivalent form is a mixed number and not a fraction? explain.

If the decimal is 1.25, the mixed number equivalent would be 1 1/4. If it has a number before the decimal ( 1 in this case), it shows there is a whole number.

Also, 1.25 in word form is “One and twenty-five hundredths”. The “and” shows that there’s a whole number.

hope that was clear, if not, I can explain it differently :)
