To convert the mixed number 2 3 into decimal form, you first need to understand what it represents. The number 2 3 is a mixed number consisting of a whole number part (2) and a fractional part (3).
Here’s how you can convert it:
- First, identify the whole number: 2.
- Next, convert the fraction 3 into decimal form. Since 3 is simply a whole number, you can treat it as 3/1; however, if it refers to a fraction like 3/10 or another denominator, you would need that for conversion. In this case, if we consider 3 as a standalone whole number, it doesn’t contribute to a decimal from a fractional perspective.
- Add the whole number and the decimal. Since the fractional part is 0 in this context (as we consider it a whole number without a denominator), you just have 2 + 3 = 5.
Thus, the decimal form of 2 3 is simply 5.0.
