A fraction is written in terms of two parts: the number on top is called the numerator and the number on the bottom is called the denominator. We can use the division method to solve this question. To get a decimal, simply divide the numerator 50 by the denominator 20:
50 (numerator) ÷ 20 (denominator) = 2.5
As a result, you get 2.5 as your answer when you convert 1 30/20 (or 50/20) to a decimal.
