I'm feeling benevolent right now, so...

For whole numbers, just add a decimal point and a zero. So 39 would be 39.0

For fractions, divide the numerator (top number) by the demonimator (the bottom number). So for 21/50, divide 21 by 50. You should get 0.42

Hope this helps.

That is also easy. 39 is your whole number. I told you how to convert your partial number (21/50) to a decimal. Add the two together.

39 21/50 = 39.0 + 0.42 = 39.42
