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 84 by the denominator 34:
84 (numerator) ÷ 34 (denominator) = 2.47
As a result, you get 2.47 as your answer when you convert 2 16/34 (or 84/34) to a decimal.
