Question

How do you change 24 2\5 into decimal?

Answer 1

24 and 2/5=24+2/5
24=24

0.1=1/10
2/5=x/10
times both sides by 10
20/5=x
4=x
2/5=4/10=0.4


24 and 2/5=24+0.4=24.4

Answer 2

First you make it into an improper fraction, so multiply 24 by the denominator (5), and add the numerator (2), to get 123/5, and then divide. you should get 24.6.
