0.67

Solución

Step 1: 
Divide the numerator by the denominator: 

\(\frac { 2} { 3} \)
 

Step 2:

Perform the division: 

\(2 \div 3 \approx 0.66666\ldots \)
 

Step 3:

Round to the nearest hundredth: 0.67.

 

Supplemental Knowledge:

Converting a fraction to a decimal involves dividing the numerator by the denominator. For the fraction \(\frac { 2} { 3} \):

\[\frac { 2} { 3} = 2 \div 3\]

Performing this division gives:

\[2 \div 3 = 0.6666\ldots \]

This is a repeating decimal, often written as \(0.\overline { 6} \). To round this to the nearest hundredth, you look at the thousandth place (the third digit after the decimal point).

 

Real-Life Connections:

An understanding of fractions to decimals conversion and rounding can prove valuable in numerous scenarios, from dealing with finances or cooking measurements, to discount calculations while shopping - having this skill helps ensure more precise calculations and decisions are made.
