Answer: 37%
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer and explanation;
= 1/15 is the answer get when 36 is divided by 540 .
We can use the partial quotients to divide 540 by 36 then we get the reciprocal of the answer;
540 ÷ 36
We can take 360 ÷ 36 = 10
Then the remainder is ; 540 -360 = 180
But ; 180 ÷36 = 5
Then we get the sum of the quotients which is 10 +5 = 15
Thus; 540 ÷ 36 = 15
However; the question was 36 ÷ 540 , so we get the reciprocal of 15;
= 36 ÷ 540 = 1/15
