<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to understand fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole and consists of two parts: the numerator (the number on top) which shows how many parts of the whole are being considered, and the denominator (the number below) which indicates how many parts make up the whole. A decimal is a way to express a number that is not whole, using a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Since there is no remainder, the division process ends here. Thus, 2/5 as a decimal is 0.4.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Combine the whole number part (10) with the decimal obtained from the fraction (0.4) to get 10.4.</p>
