    A mixed number is (a whole number) plus (a fraction).

    The whole number is no problem. It's ' 2 '.

    But how to get a fraction from. 98?

    The easiest way I know to explain it is: Read it out loud, and

    write down what you hear yourself saying.

    When you read '.98 ' out loud, you should say

    "ninety-eight hundredths".

    Write that down: 98/100. There's your fraction.

    It looks a little bit neater if you simplify it ... divide

    the top and bottom by 2, and then you have 49/50.

    So 2.98 is the same as the mixed number (2 and 49/50).
