<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part from the whole. It has two parts, numerator (number on the top) here, 6 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 8. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or 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>

9
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Multiply the<a>whole number</a>part (2) by the denominator (8) and add the numerator (6), which gives us 22. Thus, the fraction is 22/8.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Multiply the<a>whole number</a>part (2) by the denominator (8) and add the numerator (6), which gives us 22. Thus, the fraction is 22/8.</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 22 by 8.</p>
10
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Divide 22 by 8.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>8 goes into 22 two times. 2 × 8 = 16. Subtract 16 from 22, which leaves us with 6.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>8 goes into 22 two times. 2 × 8 = 16. Subtract 16 from 22, which leaves us with 6.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down a 0, making it 60. Divide 60 by 8, which goes 7 times. 7 × 8 = 56. Subtract 56 from 60, which leaves us with 4.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down a 0, making it 60. Divide 60 by 8, which goes 7 times. 7 × 8 = 56. Subtract 56 from 60, which leaves us with 4.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 40. Divide 40 by 8, which goes 5 times. 5 × 8 = 40. Subtract 40 from 40, which leaves us with 0.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Bring down another 0, making it 40. Divide 40 by 8, which goes 5 times. 5 × 8 = 40. Subtract 40 from 40, which leaves us with 0.</p>
