Convert Between Decimals and Mixed Numbers

Numbers on the left-hand side of the decimal point show there’s a whole part and several pieces of a whole.
Decimal numbers have two parts that are separated by a decimal point:
Whole part: The numbers on the left-hand side of a decimal point.
Decimal or the fraction part: The numbers on the right-hand side of a decimal point.
To convert a decimal number into a mixed number, the whole number is kept the same and the decimal part is converted.
