Good morning ☕️,

___________________

Explanation:

Examples: (just multiply both sides of the division expression by the right exponent of 10)

-1- 0.015/0.3 =(0.015×1000)/(0.3×1000)=15/300=0,05

-2- 2.5/12.5 =(2.5×10)/(12.5×10)=25/125=0,2

-3- 53.646432/9.876 =(53.646432×1000000)/(9.876×1000000)=53646432/9876=5.432.
