<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of the whole. It has two parts, numerator (number on the top) here, 271 represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole, here it is 100. A decimal is a way to represent the number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fraction part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and that to the right represents the fractional part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Perform the division of 271 by 100.</p>
11
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>100 goes into 271 two times (100 x 2 = 200), so we write 2 in the quotient place. Subtract 200 from 271 to get 71.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>100 goes into 271 two times (100 x 2 = 200), so we write 2 in the quotient place. Subtract 200 from 271 to get 71.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down the next digit (if any) or, in this case, consider the decimal point.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Bring down the next digit (if any) or, in this case, consider the decimal point.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Since we have 71, and 100 can be divided into 710 seven times (100 x 7 = 700), write 7 in the decimal place of the quotient. Subtract 700 from 710 to get 10.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Since we have 71, and 100 can be divided into 710 seven times (100 x 7 = 700), write 7 in the decimal place of the quotient. Subtract 700 from 710 to get 10.</p>
14
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>As there are no more digits to bring down, the division process gives us a remainder of 10. We can add another 0 to get 100 and divide it by 100 once more to get the final digit 1 in the second decimal place, making the quotient 2.71.</p>
