It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts, numerator (number on the top) here, 7 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 10. A decimal is a way to represent the number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.
2 7/10 in decimals can be written as 2.7. It is a terminating decimal, showing there are no more digits after the decimal point.
To convert 2 7/10 into a decimal, we first consider the fractional part 7/10. Since the denominator is 10, which is a power of ten, converting this fraction is straightforward.
Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator. Here, the numerator (7) is the part of the whole, and the denominator (10) is the whole.
Step 2: Divide the numerator by the denominator, 7 ÷ 10 = 0.7.
Step 3: Add the whole number part, which is 2, to the decimal value obtained. So, 2 + 0.7 = 2.7.
The answer for 2 7/10 as a decimal is 2.7.
