What is 2.54 as a mixed number?
What is 3.750 as a mixed number?

Answer 1

2.54 is pronounced two and fifty four hundredths so u would write it exactly as u hear it. 2, and 52 over 100. So, 2.54 is 2 and 54/100. This can be simplified to 2 and 27/50. 3.750 is the same as 3.75 so it is pronounced three and seventy five hundredths. Same as the other example, this is 3 and 75/100. This can be simplified to 3 and 3/4 because both 75 and 100 can be divided by 25.

Answer 2

`2.54=2+0.54=2+(54)/(100)=2(54:2)/(100:2)=\boxed{2(27)/(50)}\\\\3.750=3.75=3+0.75=3+(75)/(100)=3(75:25)/(100:25)=\boxed{3(3)/(4)}`
