Answer:

2 13/20

Explanation:

we can split up 2.65 into a whole number and a decimal

2.65

= 2 + 0.65 (note that 0.65 = 65/100)

= 2 + 65/100

= 2 65/100 (we can see that both numerator and denominator are multiples of 5, hence we can try to simply by dividing both numerator and denominator by 5)

= 2 (65÷5) / (100÷5)

= 2 13/20 (answer)
