Answer 1

The equation's result: 32,000 (Rounded)

Goal: Find the closest or equivalent result in another expression

Explanation:

A)

`(1.5^(15))/(0.7^(12))\\(1.5^(15))/(0.7^(12)) = (437.894)/(0.7^(12))\\437.894/(0.014)\\31636.79`

How we got to 31,636 was by dividing from left to right.

Remember: When dividing decimals, it's like multiplying whole numbers in a way. The number(the quotient, also) ends up bigger instead of being smaller like when dividing whole numbers. If you multiply decimals, they(the product) end up smaller.

Therefore, A is the correct answer.
