yes you did ask for a fraction, not a mixed number.
Watch Jean Guy's answer, it's very good.,
you take the 15 and make that into a fraction itself with denominator 8 since you know .125 = 1/8.
15*8/8 = 120/8 + your 1/8 from .125 = 121/8
note: that improper fraction means the absolute value of the numerator is more (as opposed to less) than the denominator

15.125
15 is already a whole number, now let's look at the decimal:
.125
This is said "125 one-thousandths," which is also a fraction:
125/1000
Reduce:
125 goes into both 125 and 1000.
125/1000 = 1/8
So, we have 15 1/8
Change this into an improper fraction:
121/8

0.125 = 125/1000
125/1000 = 5/40 = 1/8
so 15.125 = 15 1/8
15 1/8 = 121/8 <-- answer
(15*8=120, 120+1=121, divide this with 8)

If you dont want to put that number into a fraction yourself, then you could just put that number into a graphing calculator. First just type in 15.125 then press enter and press MATH and click 1: >Frac and press enter and then you will get 121/8.
