Answer: 2.6
Step-by-step explanation: To write 13/5 as a decimal, notice that 13/5 is an improper fraction. We first need to write 13/5 as the mixed number which is 2 and 3/5 before we convert it to a decimal.
To write 2 and 3/5 as a decimal, we must first find a fraction equivalent to 3/5 with a 10 in the denominator. Notice that if we multiply both the numerator and denominator of 3/5 by 2, we get the equivalent fraction 6/10.
2 and 6/10 is equivalent to 2.6.
