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 99 by the denominator 17:
99 (numerator) ÷ 17 (denominator) = 5.82
As a result, you get 5.82 as your answer when you convert 2 65/17 (or 99/17) to a decimal.
