Simplify :

$\dfrac{2.5 \times 40.4}{50}$

We have:

$\phantom{=} \dfrac{2.5 \times 40.4}{50} = \dfrac{101.0}{50} = \dfrac{101}{50}$

On dividing 101 by 50, we get:

$\begin{array}{r} 2.02 \ 50 \overline{\smash{)} 101.00 } \ \underline{100} \phantom{.00} \ 10 \phantom{0} \ \underline{00} \phantom{0} \ 100 \ \underline{100} \ 0 \end{array}$

Hence, the answer is 2.02
