Convert the mixed number to a decimal by working with the whole number and fraction separately.<br><br>
&bull; \( 2\frac{3}{8} = 2 + \frac{3}{8} \)<br>
&bull; \( \frac{3}{8} = 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375 \)<br>
&bull; \( 2 + 0.375 = 2.375 \)<br>
&bull; The third decimal place is 5, so round up: 2.37<u>5</u> → 2.38<br><br>
Final Answer: 2.38
