1.6

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Calculate the numerator.

    0.36×2.40.36 \times 2.4

    Multiply 36×2436 \times 24:
    36×20=72036 \times 20 = 720
    36×4=14436 \times 4 = 144
    720+144=864720 + 144 = 864
    Since there are two decimal places in 0.36 and one in 2.4, there will be 2+1=32+1=3 decimal places in the product.
    So, 0.36×2.4=0.8640.36 \times 2.4 = 0.864.

  2. Calculate the denominator.

    0.9×0.60.9 \times 0.6

    Multiply 9×6=549 \times 6 = 54.
    Since there is one decimal place in 0.9 and one in 0.6, there will be 1+1=21+1=2 decimal places in the product.
    So, 0.9×0.6=0.540.9 \times 0.6 = 0.54.

  3. Divide the numerator by the denominator.

    0.8640.54\frac{0.864}{0.54}

    To simplify the division, we can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 1000 to remove the decimals.

    0.864×10000.54×1000=864540\frac{0.864 \times 1000}{0.54 \times 1000} = \frac{864}{540}

    We can simplify this fraction. Both are divisible by 10:

    86.454\frac{86.4}{54}

    Now, perform the division:

    86.4÷5486.4 \div 54 86÷54=1 with a remainder of 3286 \div 54 = 1 \text{ with a remainder of } 32

    Bring down the 4, making it 324.

    324÷54=6324 \div 54 = 6

    So, 86.4÷54=1.686.4 \div 54 = 1.6.

    Alternatively, we can write:

    0.8640.54=864540\frac{0.864}{0.54} = \frac{864}{540}

    Divide both by 10:

    86.454\frac{86.4}{54}

    Divide 86.4 by 54:

    54×1=5454 \times 1 = 54 86.4−54=32.486.4 - 54 = 32.4 54×0.6=32.454 \times 0.6 = 32.4

    So, 1+0.6=1.61 + 0.6 = 1.6.

    The final answer is 1.6.
