Answer 2

Answer:

Required decimal form is 2.125.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the numerator of fraction by the denumerator of the fraction, and then convert the given rational number in decimal form.

For example,

$\frac{5}{2} = 2.5$ [5 was divided by 2]

So, decimal form of $\frac{5}{2}$ is 2.5

Again $\frac{1}{200} = 0.005$ [1 is divided by 200]

So, decimal form of $\frac{1}{200}$ is 0.005.

Here given rational number is $\frac{17}{8}$

Here numerator is 17 and denominator is 8.

Now for converting the given rational number in decimal form,

we are dividing 17 by 8 we get,

$\frac{17}{8} = \: 17 \div 8 = 2.125$

Required answer is 2.125.
