Given:
$\frac{5}{2}$.
To do:
We have to convert $\frac{5}{2}$ into a decimal.
Solution:
Converting fraction to a decimal:
To convert a fraction to a decimal, follow these steps:
Step 1: Find a number you can multiply by the bottom of the fraction to make it 10 or a multiple of 10.
Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by that number.
Step 3: Then write down just the top number, putting the decimal point in the correct spot (one space from the right-hand side for every zero in the bottom number).
To convert $\frac{5}{2}$ to a decimal,
Step 1: We can multiply 2 by 50 to become 100
Step 2: Multiply top and bottom by 50:
$\frac{5\times50}{2\times50}=\frac{250}{100}$
Step 3: Write down 250 with the decimal point 2 spaces from the right (because 100 has 2 zeros).
$\frac{250}{100}=2.50$.
