Simply divide 1 into 8, and you get: .125
Since we are looking at 2 and 1/8, simply add 2 to your decimal to get: 2.125.

A mixed number is the sum of a whole number and a fraction. In this problem the whole number is 2 and the fraction 1/8 is equivalent to 0.125 in decimal form.
Therefore, adding the two together, 2 1/8 is the same as 2.125 in decimal form.

To convert a fraction into decimal you devide nominator(top) by denominator(bottom); If you have mixed number you need to add to the resulting decimal the whole number:
1/5= 0.20
1/2 = 0.50
1/3 = 0.33333... rounded to 0.3
and 1/8 = 0.125
2 1/8 = 2 + 0.125 = 2.125
Hope this helps you.
