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 59 by the denominator 28:
59 (numerator) ÷ 28 (denominator) = 2.11
As a result, you get 2.11 as your answer when you convert 1 31/28 (or 59/28) to a decimal.
