Answer:

B 12.375 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Key skills needed: Fraction to Decimal Conversion

1) The mixed number that is in the question is --> [tex]12\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

2) We need to find 12 and 3/8 as a decimal.

[tex]12\frac{3}{8}= 12 + \frac{3}{8}[/tex]

This means it would be 12."something"

We need to find out what [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] as a decimal is.

3) To do this, we do 3 ÷ 8 (to find the decimal form of a fraction, you do the numerator divided by the denominator).

4) Check the image I posted to see how I did 3 ÷ 8.

5) Well based on the division, 3 divided by 8 is 0.375

This means that [tex]12 + \frac{3}{8} = 12 + 0.375 = 12.375[/tex]

Therefore 12.375 is your answer

Hope you understood and have a nice day!! :D
