To convert the mixed number 2 7 into a decimal, we first need to break it down. The mixed number consists of the whole number 2 and the fraction 7.
First, we convert the fraction part:
- 7 as a fraction is 7/1.
- Since it’s just 7, it can be added to the whole number part (2) directly.
Now, to express this as a decimal, we can simply focus on the whole number:
- The number 2 is already a whole number.
- We can write it as a decimal: 2.00.
- Now adding the whole part and the fractional part we have: 2.00 + 0.00 = 2.00.
Therefore, the mixed number 2 7 as a decimal is 2.00.
