To convert the mixed number 2 6 into decimal form, you need to first convert it into an improper fraction. A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. In this case, 2 is the whole number and 6 is the fraction.
However, we notice that 6 is not a fraction on its own. Assuming you meant something like 2 and 6/10 or similar, let’s clarify:
If you were referring to 2 and a fraction where 6 is the numerator (as in 2 6/10), you first convert that into an improper fraction. The calculation would be:
- Take the whole number (2) and multiply it by the denominator (10), giving you 20.
- Add the numerator (6) to that result, giving you 26.
- Your improper fraction is then 26/10.
Now convert that to decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
- 26 ÷ 10 = 2.6
Thus, 2 6/10 as a decimal is 2.6. If you meant something different with ‘2 6’, please clarify, and I can provide further assistance!
