Worked Solution
Step 1: Split 2.625 into the whole-number part and the decimal part: 2.625 = 2 + 0.625.
Step 2: Convert the decimal part to a fraction. There are 3 decimal places, so the denominator is 1000: 0.625 = 625/1000.
Step 3: Simplify 625/1000. The greatest common factor of 625 and 1000 is 125. 625 ÷ 125 = 5, and 1000 ÷ 125 = 8. So 625/1000 = 5/8.
Step 4: Combine: 2 + 5/8 = 2 5/8. Check (reverse): 2 5/8 = 2 + 5÷8 = 2 + 0.625 = 2.625 ✓
Answer: 2 5/8
