Mixed number to decimal number: dividing 78 by 8

[orangetree]

Hi! I'm not sure if I am doing these right, please check and let me now! Thanks!

Divide 78 by 8, and write the answer...

a) with a remainder.

8 ÷ 78
8 x 9 = 72
78 - 72 = 6
Answer 9 r 6

b) as a mixed number.

8 9/6?
(from 8 ÷ 78 = 9 r 6 )

c) as a decimal number.

I'm not sure how to convert a mixed number into a decimal, could someone help me on this?
