3.5

Exact, terminating: 2/4 = 1/2 · denominator 2 has only 2s and 5s · 1 decimal place

Whole part 3 stays in front; divide the fraction part:

remainder	×10	= digit × 4 + new remainder	digit
2	20	5 × 4 + 0	5

The remainder reaches 0 after 1 step → 0.5 ends.

3 + 0.5 = 3.5

To convert 3 2/4 to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator, 2 ÷ 4 = 0.5, then add the whole part: 3 + 0.5 = 3.5.

In lowest terms its denominator 2 has no prime factors other than 2 and 5, so the division ends after 1 decimal place: 3 2/4 = 3.5.

Multiply by 100: 3 2/4 = 350%.
