1. Start with the mixed number:
   $$
   2 \frac{10}{40}
   $$

2. Simplify the fractional part. Notice that:
   $$
   \frac{10}{40} = \frac{10 \div 10}{40 \div 10} = \frac{1}{4}
   $$

3. Rewrite the mixed number with the simplified fraction:
   $$
   2 \frac{1}{4}
   $$

4. Convert the fraction $$\frac{1}{4}$$ to its decimal form:
   $$
   \frac{1}{4} = 0.25
   $$

5. Add the whole number and the decimal fraction:
   $$
   2 + 0.25 = 2.25
   $$

Thus, the equivalent decimal is:
$$
2 \frac{10}{40}=2.25
$$
$$ 2 \frac{10}{40} = 2.25 $$

Convert the mixed number to its equivalent decimal and vice versa. \( 2 \frac{10}{40}=\square \)
