This is just one of many ways for this to be done
36.78 can also be written as 36 and 78/100 or 3678/100
2.4 can be written as 2 and 4/100 or 204/100
so we have 3678/100 ÷ 204/100
to divide fractions, you just have to flip the second fraction and multiply across
3678/100 * 204/100
750312/10000
Simplified that would be 75 and 312/10000

hope this helped

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

36.78 divided by 2.4

= 36.78/2.4

dividing numerator and denominator by 2, we get

= 18.39/1.2

Dividing numerator and denominator by 3, we get

= 6.13/0.4

Removing the decimals of numerator and denominator, we get

= 613/40

Dividing numerator and denominator by 4, we get

= 153.25/10

= 15.325

Hence, 36.78 divided by 2.4 equals:

15.325
