2 8/10 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), here 8 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 numbers that are not whole, using a (.) or a decimal 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 8/10 as a decimal

Answer

 

2 8/10 in decimals can be written as 2.8. It is a terminating decimal, as it does not repeat infinitely.

 

Explanation

 

To convert 2 8/10 to decimal, we will first convert the fractional part 8/10 to a decimal. Here, 8 is the numerator, and 10 is the denominator. Since the denominator is a power of 10, we can easily convert it to decimal.

 

Step 1: Identify the whole number, numerator, and denominator. The whole number is 2, the numerator is 8, and the denominator is 10.

 

Step 2: Convert the fraction 8/10 to decimal by dividing 8 by 10, which gives us 0.8.

 

Step 3: Combine the whole number and the decimal fraction. The whole number is 2, and the decimal fraction is 0.8.

 

Step 4: The final result is 2 + 0.8, which equals 2.8.

 

Therefore, 2 8/10 as a decimal will be 2.8.
