Answer 1

Here is you're answer:

In order to find the answer you have to switch all the options into decimals to see which one is equivalent to 2.46!

• 
  `(246)/(1000)`
• 
  `(246)/(1000) = 246 / 1000 = 0.246`
• 
  `2(46)/(1000)`
• 
  `2(46)/(1000) = (1023)/(500) = 1023 / 500 = 2.046`
• 
  `2 (23)/(50) = (123)/(50) = 123 / 50=2.46` <-- You're answer.
• 
  `(223)/(500) = 223 / 500 = 0.446`

Therefore you're answer is option C "2 23/50." Remember when wanting to find the decimal divide the numerator by the denominator after you convert the mixed number (if it's a mixed number) into a improper fraction!

Hope this helps!
