This is a simple exercise on decimal conversion. First, we need to understand mixed numbers and decimals. A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. In "2 7/100", 2 is the whole number, and 7/100 is the fractional part. A decimal is a way to represent a number that isn't whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point indicate the whole number, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
2 7/100 as a decimal is written as 2.07.
To convert 2 7/100 into a decimal, follow these steps:
Step 1: Identify the whole number and the fraction parts. Here, 2 is the whole number, and 7/100 is the fraction.
Step 2: Convert the fraction part into a decimal. Since the fraction 7/100 is already in terms of hundredths, it can be directly written as 0.07.
Step 3: Combine the whole number and the decimal fraction. By placing 0.07 after 2, we get the decimal representation 2.07.
