Answer 2

Given:

$\frac{54}{7.5}$

To find:

The answer when 54 is divided by 7.5

Solution:

As we know that in a fraction p/q, the p is called the numerator while q is called the denominator.

Now,

As given, we have

$\frac{54}{7.5} \: \: (i)$

Here, we can write the denominator 7.5 as

$\frac{75}{10}$

So,

we can write (i) as

$\frac{54}{ \frac{75}{10} }$

$= \frac{54 \times 10}{75}$

On solving the above, we get

$= \frac{18 \times 10}{25}$

$= \frac{18 \times 2}{5}$

Now,

on multiplying and dividing by 2, we get

$= \frac{18 \times 2 \times 2}{10}$

$= \frac{72}{10}$

$= 7.2$

Hence, 54/7.5 is equal to 7.2
