#98 3/5#

Explanation:

A "mixed number" is one with a whole-number component and a fraction, instead of the decimal form given here.
#98.6# has two parts - the whole number (98) which we will leave as it is, and the decimal (.6), which we will convert to a fraction.

#0.6# is "six tenths", so we can right that directly as that fraction.
#6/10#. In simplest form we will divide both parts by 2 to get the smallest equivalent fraction: #3/5#.

Now we put them back together to make the mixed number:
#98 3/5#
