Step 1a

The first step to changing \$2 4/5\$ into a decimal is to change it to an improper fraction.

To do that, we need to multiply 2 by 5 and add its product to 4 in the numerator to get: \$14/5\$.

Explanation: To change fractions into decimals first, we have to change mixed fractions into improper fractions.
To do that, we need to multiply the denominator(5) with a whole number (2) and add its product to the numerator(4) then we get, \$14/5\$.

Step 1b

To convert fractions to decimals, you can use the division method.
Simply divide the numerator by the denominator.

Explanation: In this step, convert \$14/5\$ to a decimal is by using the division method. Divide the numerator, which is 14, by the denominator, which is 5. The result of the division is 2.8.

Step 2a

First, multiply the fractions \$4/9\$ and \$11/8\$. The result of this calculation is \$44/72\$.

Explanation: To complete this step, begin by multiplying the fractions. The result is \$44/72\$.

Step 2b

Now,divide the resultant fraction to \$5/3\$.The result we get \$11/30\$.

Explanation: After divide the fraction and the result, we get \$11/30\$

Step 2c

Hence the decimal number after dividing the resultant fraction \$11/30\$ = 0.366.

Explanation: To get the decimal equivalent of the fraction \$11/30\$, divide it and the result is 0.366.
