Step one is to convert it to a fraction. The conversion from decimal to fraction is somewhat difficult and annoying, but in this problem, it's simple. We can describe this number as 2 and 6 tenths, right? Well, how do you write 6 tenths as a fraction? 6/10. Your number is [tex]2 \frac{6}{10} [/tex]. 6 and 10 can both be divided by 2, so your final solution is [tex]2 \frac{3}{5} [/tex]
