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 88 by the denominator 30:
88 (numerator) ÷ 30 (denominator) = 2.93
As a result, you get 2.93 as your answer when you convert 1 58/30 (or 88/30) to a decimal.
