We can convert the numbers into whole. But remember to move the decimal point same "places" with both the numbers.

To make 0.15 into 15, you need to move the decimal 2 places to the right.

Similarly, you need to move the decimal 2 places to the right, with 0.2 as well.

So, the problem becomes:

15/20

After you divide, it is 0.75

The correct answer is 0.75
