Question

Harriet calculated 27 divided 4 = 6.75 how can you find 270 divided 4 without dividing

Answer 1

ANSWER

Rewrite and make substitution.

EXPLANATION

Since Harriet calculated 27 divided 4 and had 6.75.

This means that:

$\frac{27}{4} = 6.75$

Now we want to find

$\frac{270}{4}$

without divide.

Therefore we need to rewrite the expression so in terms of

$\frac{27}{4}$

so that we can substitute.

This will give us;

$\frac{270}{4} = \frac{27}{4} \times 10$

This implies that,

$\frac{270}{4} = 6.75 \times 10$

$\frac{270}{4} = 67.5$
