Question

What is 2.45 as a mixed number

Answer 1

We are given the decimal number 2.45

Let us first convert the decimal number to a fraction

Since there are two numbers after the decimal, multiply and divide it by 100

`(2.45*100)/(100)=(245)/(100)`

Simplify the fraction to the lowest terms

`(245)/(100)=(49)/(20)`

Remainder = 9

Quotient = 2

Divisor = 20

So, the mixed number is written as

`(49)/(20)=2(9)/(20)`

Therefore, 2.45 in mixed number is 2 9/20
