Question : 148 of 200

Marks: +1, -0

1.75 ÷ 0.25 = ?

Solution:

Concept:

Division of decimals can be simplified by converting to fractions or multiplying numerator and denominator by a power of 10.

Explanation:

Write the division as a fraction:

1.75 ÷ 0.25 = \frac{1.75}{0.25}

Multiply numerator and denominator by 100 to remove decimals:

\frac{1.75 \times 100}{0.25 \times 100} = \frac{175}{25}

Now divide:

175 ÷ 25 = 7

Alternatively, note that

0.25 = \frac{1}{4}

, so

1.75 ÷ \frac{1}{4} = 1.75 \times 4 = 7

A. 7
