Identify Whole and Decimal: To express 10.31 as a mixed number, we first identify the whole number part and the decimal part. The whole number part is the number to the left of the decimal point, and the decimal part is the number to the right of the decimal point.In 10.31, the whole number part is 10, and the decimal part is .31.
Express Decimal as Fraction: Next, we need to express the decimal part as a fraction. The decimal .31 is out of 100 because there are two digits after the decimal point. So, we write it as rac{31}{100}.
Combine Whole and Fraction: Now, we combine the whole number part with the fraction to form a mixed number. The mixed number is then 10 and 10031.
