Answer 2

Answer:

I can explain.  The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it this way: when you write a mixed number, the fraction is out of 100.    If the denominator is 8, find 1/8 of 100 by doing 100 divided by 1/8.  This gives you 12.5.  The entire fraction is 2/8, so we need to multiply 12.5 by 2, since it's only 1/8.  12.5 x 2 gives us 25.  In the decimal, this would be equal to .25.  A is the only answer that represents the mixed number as a decimal correctly.
