Detailed Solution

We are given a mixed fraction as follows, 2 5 12  .
So, first we rewrite the fraction as a proper fraction as follows,
2 5 12 = 29 12  .
Now, to convert it into decimal form, we use the long division method and divide the numerator by the denominator.
Question ImageSo, it can be observed that the remainder 8 is repeating itself.
So, 2.41666.....   is therefore a recurring decimal.
So, we can rewrite the quotient as follows,
2.41666.....=2.41 6 ¯  .
Thus, the decimal form of 2 5 12   is obtained as 2.41 6 ¯  .
Hence, the correct option is (1).
