What is 2 5/11 as a decimal?

Answer

Fraction 2 5/11 as a decimal is
2.45

≈ 2.45 to hundredths

Repeating decimal: denominator 11 has the factor 11, not 2 or 5 · the bar marks the period 45 — 2 digits repeat forever

2 5/11: whole part, then 5 ÷ 11

Whole part 2 stays in front; divide the fraction part:

remainder×10= digit × 11 + new remainderdigit
5504 × 11 + 64
6605 × 11 + 55

Remainder 5 is back after the 2nd division → the 2 digits 45 repeat: 0.45.

2 + 0.45 = 2.45
