Take the whole number and convert the remaining decimal into a fraction, to get $2 \frac{13}{250}$ $2 13/250$ .

Explanation:

$2.052$ $2.052$ consists of $2$ $2$ and $0.052$ $0.052$ . Split them:

$2$ $2$ is the whole number,

$0.052$ $0.052$ we will convert to a fraction. A number divided by one is the number itself, right?

$= \frac{0.052}{1}$ $=0.052/1$

And multiplying by one; it doesn't change anything, does it?

$= \frac{0.052}{1} \cdot 1$ $=0.052/1 * 1$

Then there's the rule of a number divided by itself equaling one. Use this to your advantage and multiply by a number that makes the decimal a whole number! I choose $1000$ $1000$ .

$= \frac{0.052}{1} \cdot \frac{1000}{1000}$ $=0.052/1 * 1000/1000$

$= \frac{52}{1000}$ $=52/1000$

Now, simplify. I'll divide both sides by 4:

$= \frac{52 \div 4}{1000 \div 4} = \frac{13}{250}$ $=(52divide4)/(1000divide4) = 13/250$

Finally, combine the whole number and the converted fraction:

$2 + \frac{13}{250} = 2 \frac{13}{250}$ $2 + 13/250 = 2 13/250$ .
