step 6 Simplify the above expression further:
= 15 + (20/3 x 1/10)
= 15 + (18 + 2/3 x 1/10)
= 15 + [(18/3 + 2/3 ) x 1/10]
= 15 + [(6 + 2/3) x 1/10]
step 7 Repeat the step 5 to find the decimal equivalent for the fraction 2/3 in the above expression:
= 15 + [(6 + 2/3) x 1/10]
= 15 + [(6 + 0.67) x 1/10]
= 15 + (6.67 x 1/10)
= 15 + 6.67/10
= 15 + 0.667
