divide 51 by 100 and add 2

$2$ $51/100$ is a mixed fraction.
the fraction $51/100$ is not a decimal,
to convert fractions into decimals divide the numerator by the denominator.

numerator = 51
denominator = 100

$51/100=0.51$

$0.51+2=2.51$

That means $2$ $51/100$ = $2.51$

When converting fractions into decimal, the equation is $n/d$

$n$ = numerator = 51
$d$ = denominator = 100

$51/100=0.51$

Converting a mixed fraction into a decimal number is done by using the equation

$w+$ $n/d$

$w$ = whole number = 2
$n$ = numerator = 51
$d$ = denominator = 100

$2+$ $51/100=2.51$
