$2.0 as a fraction$

Answer

The answer for 2.0 as a fraction will be 2/1.

Explanation

Converting a decimal to a fraction is a task for students that can be done easily. You can follow the steps mentioned below to find the answer.

Step 1: Firstly, any decimal number should be converted to a fraction for easy calculation. Here, 2.0 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 2.0 becomes 2.0/1.

Step 2: To remove the decimal from the fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1 (because the decimal is in the tenths place, but since there is no fractional part, multiplying by 1 is sufficient). 2.0/1 × 1/1 = 2/1

Step 3: The fraction 2/1 is already in its simplest form.

Thus, 2.0 can be written as a fraction 2/1.
