Question

Divide write your answer as a decimal

8.64 divided by 0.45 = ___

Answer 1

To calculate \( 8.64 \div 0.45 \), we can convert it to a more straightforward division by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 100 to eliminate the decimal points:

\[
\frac{8.64}{0.45} = \frac{8.64 \times 100}{0.45 \times 100} = \frac{864}{45}
\]

Now, we can perform the division:

\[
864 \div 45 = 19.2
\]

Therefore,

\[
8.64 \div 0.45 = 19.2
\]

So, the answer is:

\[
\boxed{19.2}
\]
