9835

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.
610. In simplest form we will divide both parts by 2 to get the smallest equivalent fraction: 35.

Now we put them back together to make the mixed number:
9835
