Converting decimal numbers to fractions or mixed numbers is a straightforward process. Let’s take a look at your examples one by one:
1. Converting 15
The number 15 is a whole number. It can be expressed as a fraction by placing it over 1:
15 = 15/1
2. Converting 265
Similar to 15, the number 265 is also a whole number. To express it as a fraction, we do the same:
265 = 265/1
3. Converting 315
Lastly, the number 315 follows the same pattern:
315 = 315/1
Conclusion
All three of the given numbers can be written as fractions by simply placing each over 1. If you want to write these as mixed numbers, since they are whole numbers, they remain the same (15, 265, and 315) but you could denote them in a mixed number format as:
- 15 as 15 0/1
- 265 as 265 0/1
- 315 as 315 0/1
In conclusion, converting whole numbers to fractions is simple and can be done by expressing them over 1. Since these numbers do not have decimal parts, they do not require further conversion to mixed numbers.
