2.4 in a fraction

Answer 1

2.4 is read "two and four tenths," which can be expressed as a fraction as 2 4/10. The fractional part (4/10) can be reduced to 2/5, since both 4 and 10 are divisible by 2.

That makes 2 2/5 if you want a mixed number. If you would like an improper fraction, then convert the whole number (2) to a fraction that has 5 in the denominator: 10/5.

Now, add that to the fractional part, to get

(10 + 2) / 5 = 12/5

Answer 2

2.4 is two and four-tenths. 2 4/10 or reduced is 2 2/5 or two and two-fifths.

12/5 is an improper fraction.
