ANSWER

Rewrite and make substitution.

Step-by-step explanation

Since Harriet calculated 27 divided 4 and had 6.75.

This means that:


(27)/(4) = 6.75

Now we want to find


(270)/(4)

without divide.

Therefore we need to rewrite the expression so in terms of


(27)/(4)

so that we can substitute.

This will give us;


(270)/(4) = (27)/(4) * 10

This implies that,


(270)/(4) = 6.75 * 10


(270)/(4) = 67.5
