Answer 1

Answer:

$2 \times \frac{23}{50}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find the fraction equivalency of the decimal number 2.46 from given option

let's check each fraction

$\frac{246}{1000} \\ 0.246$

$2 \times \frac{46}{1000} \\ \frac{2000 + 46}{1000} \\ \frac{2046}{1000} \\ 2.046$

$2 \times \frac{23}{50} \\ \frac{100 + 23}{50} \\ \frac{123}{50} \\ \frac{246}{100} \\ 2.46$

$\frac{223}{500} \\ \frac{446}{1000} \\ 0.446$

hence correct option is

$2 \times \frac{23}{50}$

other way 2.46

= 246/100

= 2 +46/100

= 2 + 23/50

$2 \times \frac{23}{50}$
