Step 1: Convert paise to rupees -

We know that, $\text{1 Re. = 100 paise}$

To convert paisa to rupees, we should divide paisa by $100$.

$$\begin{gathered} 2009paisa=Rs.(2009÷100) \\ =Rs.20.09 \end{gathered}$$

$\text{Rs. 20.09 = Rs.}\frac{2009}{100}$, is an improper fraction.

Step 2: Convert the improper fraction to a mixed fraction -

For converting improper fraction to mixed fraction, we need to divide “Numerator” by “Denominator”, the quotient becomes "whole part" and the remainder becomes “Numerator” -

$\frac{2009}{100}=20\frac{9}{100}$

Hence, $2009$ paise in a mixed fraction is $Rs.20\frac{9}{100}$.
