Question

write 2.96 as a mixed number or fraction.

Answer 1

2.96

96 is the decimal.

It can be written as 96/100.

Your fraction will be 2 96/100 but you need to simplify 96/100.

Answer 2

96/100 can be re-written and simplified as 24/25.

So your mixed number will be \(2 \dfrac{24}{25}\).

Answer 3

Or you can write it as an improper fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number, and then adding 24. Remember, you keep the denominator.

25 * 2 = 50

50 + 24 = 74

So we have 74/25.
