Question

What is 2 and 3/5 equal to in decimals

Answer 1

2 and 3/5 is equal to 2.6.

Being as the 2 is in front of the fraction, it is the whole number. This means in decimal form, it is to the left of the decimal point. Since there is no "fifths place" in a decimal, you must make it so it can go under the tenths, hundreths, thousanths or another place within the right side of the deciamal point. Simply multiplying 3/5 by 2/2 will give you 6/10. 6/10 as a decimal, is 0.6. Finally, add 0.6 and 2 together. Thus making 2.6 the answer.

I hope this helps!
