2 4/10 as a Decimal

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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) and denominator (number below). In the case of mixed numbers, like 2 4/10, there is a whole number (2) and a fractional part (4/10). A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a decimal point (.) to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.

Answer

Explanation

 

To convert 2 4/10 to a decimal, we first convert the fractional part. The fraction 4/10 can be converted to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Thus, 4 ÷ 10 = 0.4. Adding this to the whole number 2 gives us the decimal 2.4.
