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

Answer:

2.625  

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 $2\frac{5}{8}$

Here, $2\frac{5}{8}$ is a mixed fraction.

It consists of a whole number 2 and a proper fraction $\frac{5}{8}$

$2\frac{5}{8}=\frac{21}{8}$

Multiply both numerator and denominator by 125

$\frac{21(125)}{8(125)}=\frac{2625}{1000}=2.625$
