What is 2.6 as a fraction or mixed number? Pls help

Sagot :

The correct answer is 2 3/5.

Explanation:
2 is in the ones place and 6 is in the tenths place, which means we read this as "2 and 6 tenths". 6 tenths can also be written as 6/10, which makes this 2 6/10. This would then simplify to 2 3/5.

Answer:

[tex]2\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write 2.6 as a fraction or a mixed number

2.6 or 2.6/1  are same

We have one number after the decimal point

To remove decimal point we multiply both top and bottom by 10

[tex]\frac{2.6}{1} =\frac{2.6*10}{1*10} = \frac{26}{10}[/tex]

Now we divide it

             2           (quotient)

            ------------------------

    10      26

              20

            -------------------------  (subtract)

                  6       (remainder)

so mixed fraction is [tex]2\frac{6}{10}[/tex]

6/10 can be reduced to 3/5

So final answer is [tex]2\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
