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 132 by the denominator 46:
132 (numerator) ÷ 46 (denominator) = 2.87
As a result, you get 2.87 as your answer when you convert 2 40/46 (or 132/46) to a decimal.
