The answer for 2.50 as a fraction will be 5/2.

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, 2.50 is the number on the numerator and the base number 1 will be the denominator. Then, 2.50 becomes 2.50/1.

Step 2: To remove the decimal from a fraction, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100 (because there are 2 decimal places). 2.50/1 × 100/100 = 250/100

Step 3: Here 50 is the GCD of 250 and 100. Now, to make the fraction simpler, divide the numerator and denominator by 50. 250/100 = 5/2 hence, 2.50 is in the form of fraction 5/2

Thus, 2.50 can be written as a fraction 5/2.
