Understanding Mixed Decimals to Words Conversion

What are Mixed Decimals?

Mixed decimals are numbers that consist of a whole number part and a decimal part. They represent values that are not whole numbers but include both integer and fractional components.

Formula and Representation

Mathematically, a mixed decimal can be represented as:

\[a.bcde... = a + \frac{b}{10} + \frac{c}{100} + \frac{d}{1000} + \frac{e}{10000} + ...\]

Where:

• \(a\) is the whole number part
• \(b, c, d, e, ...\) are the decimal digits
