Mixed Number to Decimal: Finding the Value of 2 1/10

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Convert the fractional part $\frac{1}{10}$ to a decimal.
• Step 2: Add the decimal to the whole number part.

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: Convert the fractional part.
The fraction $\frac{1}{10}$ can be converted to a decimal because its denominator is 10. This means $\frac{1}{10} = 0.1$.

Step 2: Add this decimal value to the whole number.
The original mixed number is $2 \frac{1}{10}$. We now add $2$ (the whole number) and $0.1$ (the decimal equivalent of the fraction):
$2 + 0.1 = 2.1$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $2.1$.
