Given:
2/5
Write as decimal or mixed number.
Solution:
We cannot write the number as a mixed number, since we have a proper fraction, not an improper fraction. Proper fractions means that the value of the numerator is less than the value of the denominator. Hence, we can only write the fraction as a decimal. To do so, we simply divide the numerator by the denominator.
= 2/5
= 0.4
Final answer:
2/5 = 0.4
