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 126 by the denominator 43:
126 (numerator) ÷ 43 (denominator) = 2.93
As a result, you get 2.93 as your answer when you convert 2 40/43 (or 126/43) to a decimal.
