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 78 by the denominator 38:
78 (numerator) ÷ 38 (denominator) = 2.05
As a result, you get 2.05 as your answer when you convert 2 2/38 (or 78/38) to a decimal.
