okay I am going to play with this question

$1650\times 1.33\\\\ =1650\times\frac{133}{100}\\\\ =165\times\frac{133}{10}\\\\ =33\times\frac{133}{2}\\\\ =\frac{4389}{2}\\\\ =\mbox{ RHS}$

There you go - that is why!

Here's another way to look at it.......just subtract one side from the other.......if you get "0," both things must be equal !!!
