How do you change 1.25 into a fraction?

##1####1/4## or ##5/4##

All you need to do is find ##0.25## as a fraction

##0.25=1/4##, because ##0.25/1=25/100=1/4##.

Then, just write the ##1## from ##1.25## to the left of ##1/4## and you get ##1####1/4##. The improper fraction form of this would be ##5/4##.

(Note that ##1## is to the left of the decimal point in ##1.25##, so when you write it in the mixed number form so it is a "whole number").

Improper fraction solution:

##1####1/4##

Multiply the "whole number" (in this case, ##1##) by the denominator, and add the numerator to your product

##(1*4)+1=5##

Keep the denominator as ##4##

##5/4##
