8 is a whole number, so this will be the whole number part of our mixed number.

0.25 is a decimal, where 25 is in the HUNDREDths place, so we write 25 as a fraction over 100.

\(\sf\dfrac{25}{100}\)

Simplify by dividing 25 to the numerator and denominator.

\(\sf25\div25=1\)
\(\sf100\div25=4\)

So our fraction is \(\sf8\dfrac{1}{4}\)

0.55 is a decimal, where 55 is in the HUNDREDths place, so we write 55 as a fraction over 100.

\(\sf\dfrac{55}{100}\)

Simplify by dividing 5 to the numerator and denominator.

\(\sf55\div5=11\)
\(\sf100\div5=20\)

So our fraction is \(\sf\dfrac{11}{20}\)

\(\sf\dfrac{5}{8}\)

To convert this to a decimal, just divide 5 / 8

\(\sf5\div8=0.625\)

8.25=8 1/4 0.55=55/100=11/20 5/8=0.625(divide 5/8)
