Answer 3

To convert 2 7/16 to a decimal, we can use long division.

First, we divide the numerator, 7, by the denominator, 16:

0.4375 (Quotient)
____________
16 | 7.0000
-64
------
60
-48
-----
120
-112
-----
80
-64
----
160
-160
------
0

The remainder becomes 0, so the division is complete. The quotient, 0.4375, represents the fraction 7/16 as a decimal.

Adding the whole number, 2, to the fraction, we get:

2 + 0.4375 = 2.4375

Therefore, 2 7/16 can be represented as the decimal 2.4375.
