A fraction is written in terms of two parts: the number on top is called the numerator and the number on the bottom is called the denominator. We can use the division method to solve this question. To get a decimal, simply divide the numerator 85 by the denominator 12:
85 (numerator) ÷ 12 (denominator) = 7.08
As a result, you get 7.08 as your answer when you convert 5 25/12 (or 85/12) to a decimal.
