Answer:
18.25
Hope this helps :)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing you do is make your fraction improper
4 * 18 = 72 + 1 = 73
So now your fraction looks like this
73/4
but it's still equal to 18 1/4
What you want to do now is divide your fractions numerator and denominator
73 divided by 4 equals 18.25
A simpler way is to remove your whole number from the equation
1/4
then turn that into into a decimal
.25
and add it to 18
18.25
