convert to a regular fraction - then divide
1) 3 2/5 = 17/5 = 3.4
2) 5 4/5 = 29/5 = 5.8
3) 5/6 = .833333333333 with a bar on top of the 3s since it is a repeating decimal
alternatively, you can just divide the fraction part and add it to the whole number
1) 3 + 2/5 = 3 + .4 = 3.4
2) 5 + 4/5 = 5 + .8 = 5.8
3) 5/6 = .833333333333 with a bar on top of the 3s

Divide the numerator by the denominator. The whole number is just written as a whole number.
Example for #1: 3.4 (3 is the whole number, .4 is 2 divided by 5)
