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 131 by the denominator 48:
131 (numerator) ÷ 48 (denominator) = 2.73
As a result, you get 2.73 as your answer when you convert 131/48 to a decimal.
