This is the other answer. The answer that AzizHusain gave is an improper fraction.

for the mixed number, the following is the answer.

$$2\frac{2}{5}$$ That is the answer.

Think of 2.4 as 24. How do we get from 2.4 to 24?? 

 

Notice that you have to move the decimal place to the right once. This is the same as multiplying by 10. So, if we want to get 2.4, we have to divide 24 by 10!

 

24/10 = 2.4

 

Now, we just have to simplify 24/10 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2:

 

12/5.
