Answer:
0.252
__________________________________________________________
We have to evaluate the expression:
3.78/15
Evaluation:
We can multiply both the numerator and the denominator with the same number and that won't change the actual number since the number would cancel out
So, multiplying numerator and the denominator by 100
[tex]\frac{3.78 * 100}{15 * 100}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{378}{15 * 100}[/tex]
Since 15*25 is 375, we will rewrite the numerator as:
[tex]\frac{375 + 3}{15 * 100}[/tex]
Now, we can split it into 2 separate fractions:
[tex]\frac{375}{15 * 100}+\frac{3}{15 * 100}[/tex]
This new equation is the same as the one before as it can easily be changed to that
Since 15*25 is 375 and 3*5 is 15:
[tex]\frac{25}{100}+\frac{1}{5 * 100}[/tex]
Since 25*4 is 100:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{500}[/tex]
0.25 + 0.002
0.252
Hence, 3.78/15 is 0.252
