To express 2⅘ as a decimal, we first need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
The whole number 2 can be written as the fraction 2/1.
Now, to convert the fraction ⅘ to have the same denominator as 1, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1.
The fraction ⅘ can be written as (5×1)/(4×1) = 5/4.
Therefore, the mixed number 2⅘ can be written as an improper fraction 2/1 + 5/4 = (2×4 + 5)/4 = 13/4.
Finally, to express 13/4 as a decimal, we divide the numerator (13) by the denominator (4).
13 ÷ 4 = 3.25
Hence, 2⅘ is equal to 3.25 as a decimal.
To express a mixed number like 2⅘ as a decimal, you can convert it into an improper fraction first.
To do this, multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator of the fraction (5) and add it to the numerator (4). In this case, it would be:
2 * 5 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14.
The resulting improper fraction is 14/5.
Next, divide the numerator (14) by the denominator (5) to convert the improper fraction into a decimal:
14 ÷ 5 = 2.8.
Therefore, 2⅘ expressed as a decimal is 2.8.
