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 36 by the denominator 9:
36 (numerator) ÷ 9 (denominator) = 4
As a result, you get 4 as your answer when you convert 2 18/9 (or 36/9) to a decimal.
