Use long division to convert 6 7/15 to a decimal.
1. ≈6.47
2. 6.715
3.≈6.14285
4.≈0.46

Answer 1

To convert 6 7/15 to a decimal using long division, we can set up the problem like this:

0. 4 6 6
_____________________
15 ) 6 7 0. 0
6 0
____________
70
-60
_______
100
-90
________
10

The remainder, 10, is less than 15, so we can stop the long division process.

Therefore, 6 7/15 is approximately equal to 6.467, which is closest to option 1, ≈6.47.
