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 83 by the denominator 29:
83 (numerator) ÷ 29 (denominator) = 2.86
As a result, you get 2.86 as your answer when you convert 1 54/29 (or 83/29) to a decimal.
