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 102 by the denominator 47:
102 (numerator) ÷ 47 (denominator) = 2.17
As a result, you get 2.17 as your answer when you convert 1 55/47 (or 102/47) to a decimal.
