step 6 Simplify the above expression further:
= 2 + (100/30 x 1/100)
= 2 + (90 + 10/30 x 1/100)
= 2 + [(90/30 + 10/30 ) x 1/100]
= 2 + [(3 + 10/30) x 1/100]
step 7 Repeat the step 5 to find the decimal equivalent for the fraction 10/30 in the above expression:
= 2 + [(3 + 10/30) x 1/100]
= 2 + [(3 + 0.33) x 1/100]
= 2 + (3.33 x 1/100)
= 2 + 3.33/100
= 2 + 0.0333
