Just divide 33 by 2. For example the fraction 1/2 in decimal is 0.5 3/4 is 0.75 5/2 is 2.5, etc.

Here no rounding was involved. But if you have to round it off, the first decimal place is the tenth, the second decimal is the hundredth, etc.

OpenStudy (ranga):

2.344647 rounded to the hundredth will be 2.34 rounded to the tenth is 2.3

OpenStudy (ranga):
