2 7/12 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Converting a mixed number to a decimal involves understanding fractions and decimals. A mixed number, like 2 7/12, includes a whole number and a fraction. To convert it to a decimal, we first convert the fraction part to a decimal and then add it to the whole number. A fraction has a numerator (top part) and a denominator (bottom part). A decimal represents numbers not whole, using a decimal point to separate the whole number from the fractional part.
