You are exactly correct.
.
Note that you could have said that the answer was 0.2121 with a line over the 2121, but that
would not be correct because it would not be the "simplest" form required by the problem, even
though it would result in 7/33 = 0.212121212121 ...
.
In simplest form 7/33 = 0.21 with a line above the 21.

You understand the concept. Good job.
