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 103 by the denominator 16:
103 (numerator) ÷ 16 (denominator) = 6.44
As a result, you get 6.44 as your answer when you convert 2 71/16 (or 103/16) to a decimal.
