(34)
A share of stock was worth $19.125 on Wednesday. We need to express that number as a mixed number. The approach will be:
Separate the integer part from the decimal part:
[tex]19+0.125[/tex]
Express the decimal part as a fraction
[tex]\displaystyle 0.125=\frac{125}{1000}[/tex]
Simplify the fraction by 125
[tex]\displaystyle 0.125=\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Now we combine both parts to produce the mixed number
[tex]\displaystyle 19.125=19\ \frac{1}{8}[/tex]
(35)
The net change from Tuesday to Wednesday is
[tex]19.125-18.75=0.375[/tex]
We proceed as did before to express this number as a fraction
[tex]\displaystyle 0.375=\frac{375}{1000}[/tex]
And as before, we simplify by 125 to get
[tex]\boxed{\displaystyle 0.375=\frac{3}{8}}[/tex]
