To convert the Rational number 2/3 into its decimal form, divide 2 by 3.

Same with 3/10; divide 10 into 3, to get the decimal form.

always set this

x/100 = 2/3

x=200/3 for the first part or

33 1/3 /100 = ( 100/3 ) / 3 = what do you get?

3/10 --> multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10, what do you obtain ??

You need grouping symbols around 33 1/3, as in

(33 1/3)/100, \(\displaystyle (33 \ 1/3)/100, \ \ (33 \frac{1}{3})/100, \ or \ \ without \ them \ as, \ \frac{33 \frac{1}{3}}{100}.\)



What you have can be seen as

33 1/3/100 =

33 (1/3)/100 =

33 1/300
