Rewrite the following mixed number as a decimal.
17 37/50

17.74

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a fraction as a decimal, one of the easiest ways to do so is to turn the denominator into 100. The whole number will stay the same if the numerator is less than the denominator. So in this case, 17 stays the same. To change 37/50 to a fraction with a denominator of 100, multiply by 1 (1/1, 2/2, etc). In this case, we multiply by 2/2. This means 37/50 is equivalent to 74/100. 74 over 100 is 0.74, since 74 out of 100 is 74%. Then to convert a percent to decimal, move the decimal place two places to the left. 74.00 two decimal places to the left is 0.74. Then add the whole number 17. 17 + 0.74 is equal to 17.74.
