Here is you're answer:
In order to find the answer you have to switch all the options into decimals to see which one is equivalent to 2.46!
- [tex]\frac{246}{1000}[/tex]
- [tex]\frac{246}{1000} = 246 \div 1000 = 0.246[/tex]
- [tex]2\frac{46}{1000}[/tex]
- [tex]2\frac{46}{1000} = \frac{1023}{500} = 1023 \div 500 = 2.046[/tex]
- [tex]2 \frac{23}{50} = \frac{123}{50} = 123 \div 50=2.46[/tex] <-- You're answer.
- [tex]\frac{223}{500} = 223 \div 500 = 0.446[/tex]
Therefore you're answer is option C "2 23/50." Remember when wanting to find the decimal divide the numerator by the denominator after you convert the mixed number (if it's a mixed number) into a improper fraction!
Hope this helps!
