To convert 2750 to a decimal using long division, you need to divide 2750 by 100. This is because you are essentially determining how many times 100 can go into 2750, which will give you the equivalent decimal value.

Here's how you'd perform the division:

1. **Set up the division**: Divide 2750 by 100.

- 100 goes into 2750, how many times?

2. **Perform the long division**:
- 100 goes into 2750 exactly 27 times (since 100 * 27 = 2700).
- Subtract 2700 from 2750 which gives you 50.
- Now, you can add a decimal point and a zero to bring down, making it 500.
- 100 goes into 500 exactly 5 times (since 100 * 5 = 500).
- Subtract 500 from 500 which gives you 0, and you’re done.

So, the result of the division is:

2750 ÷ 100 = 27.5

Thus, the converted decimal is **27.5**.
