How do you convert 2 2/5 into a percent and decimal?

1 Answer

2 2/5 = 2.4 = 240%

Explanation:

The number 1 is the same as 1.00 and is the same as 100%.

The number 2, therefore, is the same as 2.00 and the same as 200%

2/5 can be converted into a decimal by seeing that 2/5=4/10. 4/10, spoken out loud, is "four tenths" and shows that the decimal is 0.4. And 0.4 is the same as 40%.

Which means that 2 2/5 = 2.4 = 240%
