Answer:
[tex]30.135\ \frac{pounds}{in^2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
[tex]30\frac{27}{200}\ \frac{pounds}{in^2}[/tex]
Convert mixed number to decimal number
we know that
[tex]30\frac{27}{200}=30+\frac{27}{200}[/tex]
Simplify the fraction [tex]\frac{27}{200}[/tex]
Divide by 2 both numerator and denominator
[tex]\frac{27}{200}=\frac{13.5}{100}[/tex]
Remember that
To divide a whole or a decimal number by 100, move the decimal point two places to the left
so
[tex]\frac{13.5}{100}=0.135[/tex]
substitute in the expression above
[tex]30+\frac{27}{200}=30+0.135=30.135\ \frac{pounds}{in^2}[/tex]
