\tt Step-by-step~explanation:

Let’s go through several different solutions.


\tt Simplified:

You can just take away two zeros at the end. You will get 2.2.


\tt Fractions:

0.2 is equal to 2/10 or 1/5, so another solution would be 2 1/5.

You can also multiply 5 by 2 and add 1 to get another solution: 11/5.


\Large\boxed{\tt Our~final~answers:\underline{2.2},~2(1)/(5),~(11)/(5) }

*Underlined: What you needed: decimal
