Question

If $\frac{9.75}{x}=1.5$, then x =

Answer 1

Given,
$\frac{9.75}{x}=1.5$
Or, $\frac{9.75}{1.5}=x$
Also,
$x=\frac{9.75\times 10}{1.5\times 10}=\frac{97.5}{15}$

Now,$\frac{97.5}{15}=97.5÷15$
Steps to solve $97.5÷15$
Step 1: Count the number of digits after the decimal in dividend.

Step 2: Ignore a decimal point and perform the long division, as you would with whole numbers as follows

Step 3: Now place a decimal point back.
97.5 has 1 decimal places. So, place the decimal point 1 places to the left in the quotient 65

Hence, the value of x is 6.5
