Question 109594
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


    {{{2&3/10}}} Start with the given mixed number


    {{{10*2=20}}} Multiply the denominator 10 by the whole number 2 to get 20


    {{{20+3=23}}}. Add 20 to the numerator 3 to get 23. This final result is the new numerator


    {{{23/10}}} Place the new numerator over the same denominator


    So the mixed number {{{2&3/10}}} is equivalent to the improper fraction {{{23/10}}}


So that means the number 2.3 is {{{23/10}}} in fraction form.
