I'm guessing you want a mixed number.
To find this, find out how many times 1000 goes into 5550.
It goes in it evenly 5 times.
Now find what's left over.
5 x 1000 = 5000
5550 - 5000 = 550
Use 5 as the whole number, 550 as the numerator, and keep the denominator the same, which is 1000.
Now, the fraction in 5 550/1000 can be reduced.
50 goes into both.
550/50 = 11
1000/50 = 20
So the fraction is reduced to 11/20.
Your fraction is 5 11/20.
Now, if you were looking for a decimal, simply refer to the fraction.
Obviously, the whole number is 5.
To make life easier, multiply 20 to 100.
20 x 5 = 100.
Now we know the numbers to the right of the decimal will have two places.
Multiply 11 to 5.
11 x 5 = 55.
So, .55
Your final answer is 5.55
Fraction: 5 11/20
Decimal: 5.55
