You can turn any fraction into a decimal by dividing, in this case, dividing 2 by 3 and the decimal is 0.667. But I would just multiply 2 *420 = 840 and divide by 3.
To turn a fraction like 2/3 into a decimal, you need to divide the numerator (2) by the denominator (3). Here's how you can do that:
1. Divide 2 by 3: 2 ÷ 3 = 0.6666666667 (the division might continue forever, but we usually round it to a certain number of decimal places)
So the decimal form of 2/3 is approximately 0.67 (rounded to two decimal places).
Now, let's solve the equation: 2/3 * 420.
To multiply fractions, you simply multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. Here's how you can do that:
1. Multiply the numerators: 2 * 420 = 840.
2. Multiply the denominators: 3 * 1 = 3.
So the result is 840/3.
To turn this fraction into a decimal, you need to divide the numerator (840) by the denominator (3):
840 ÷ 3 = 280.
Therefore, 2/3 * 420 = 280.
