Question

Write each fraction or mixed number as a decimal. Use bar notation if the decimal is a repeating decimal. 2 5/8

Answer 1

2.625

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixed number is a combination of a whole number, and a proper fraction.

A proper fraction is a fraction in which numerator is less than denominator.

Given fraction is
`2(5)/(8)`

Here,
`2(5)/(8)` is a mixed fraction.

It consists of a whole number 2 and a proper fraction
`(5)/(8)`

`2(5)/(8)=(21)/(8)`

Multiply both numerator and denominator by 125

`(21(125))/(8(125))=(2625)/(1000)=2.625`
