Welcomeeeee

Answer 2

55.25 °F

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to turn the number
`55((1)/(4))` into a decimal number with two decimal places. The expression is equivalent to :

`55((1)/(4))=55+(1)/(4)` (I)

We know that
`(1)/(4)=0.25` ⇒ If we replace this decimal number in the expression (I) ⇒

`55+(1)/(4)=55+0.25=55.25`

We find out that
`55((1)/(4))` °F is equivalent to 55.25 °F in the decimal form.
