Answer:
(219)/(100)

======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of
2.19 as
(2.19)/(1) or
(2.19)/(1.00)

This works because dividing anything over 1 does not change the original number.

Then we can move the decimal point two spots to the right for each number

  • 2.19 becomes 219
  • 1.00 becomes 100

Therefore,
2.19 = (219)/(100)
