The giant one method of dividing fractions involves multiplication of both the numerator and the denominator with the reciprocal/inverse of the denominator. 15.75 = 1575 / 100 = 63 / 4; 0.25 = 25 / 100 = 1 / 4. Thus, 15.75 / 0.25 = (63/4) / (1/4) = ((63/4) x (4/1)) / (1/4) x (4/1) = 63 / 1 = 63. Therefore, 15.75 / 0.25 = 63
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!

15.75= (1575)/(100)

(1575)/(100)= (63)/(4)



0.25= (25)/(100)

(25)/(100) = (1)/(4)

so


( (63)/(4))/( (1)/(4) ) = ( (63)/(4)* (4)/(1))/( (1)/(4) * (4)/(1) )


= (63)/(1)

therefore

(15.75)/(0.25)=63


the answer is

63
