5/2 = 2

x=5 y=2 #Division puts x/y #outputs 2 How come it could be "2"?

What do you mean you can't test it yourself?

idk ruby but can you turn it into a float? Im guessing it drops the decimal.

You are dividing two ints and the result will be... another int. If you use floats then the result will be another float and won't get truncated.
