Answer:

Exact Answer is 27/16

Decimal form: 1.6875

Mixed fraction 1 11/16 I assume that's what you need.

Explanation:

27/16

Divide 27 by 16:

1 | 6 | 2 | 7

16 goes into 27 at most one time:

| | | 1

1 | 6 | 2 | 7

| - | 1 | 6

| | 1 | 1

Read off the results. The quotient is the number at the top and the remainder is the number at the bottom:

| | | 1 | (quotient)

1 | 6 | 2 | 7 |

| - | 1 | 6 |

| | 1 | 1 | (remainder)

The quotient of 27/16 is 1 with remainder 11, so:

Answer: 1 11/16
