Remember the .3 really means 3/10 (since it's in the tenths place). So the number 2.3 is really 2 and 3/10

Start with the given mixed number

Multiply the denominator 10 by the whole number 2 to get 20

. Add 20 to the numerator 3 to get 23. This final result is the new numerator

Place the new numerator over the same denominator

So the mixed number is equivalent to the improper fraction

So that means the number 2.3 is in fraction form.
