It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of the whole. It has two parts: the numerator (number on the top) here, 2, which represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole; here, it is 5. 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.
94 2/5 in decimals can be written as 94.4. The decimal does not repeat and ends.
To convert 94 2/5 into a decimal, we will first convert the fractional part 2/5 into a decimal. Let's see the step-by-step breakdown of the process:
Step 1: Identify the numerator and denominator because the numerator (2) will be taken as the dividend and the denominator (5) will be the divisor.
Step 2: Divide 2 by 5. Since 2 is smaller than 5, we will add a decimal point and a zero to make it 20.
Step 3: Divide 20 by 5. The result is 4, which is the decimal representation of 2/5.
Step 4: Combine the whole number 94 with the decimal 0.4 to get 94.4.
The answer for 94 2/5 as a decimal is 94.4.
