Answer:

7.52

Explanation:

First convert the decimal 2.38 into a whole number by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 100, since 2.38 can be expressed as 238/100:

17.9 ÷ 2.38 = (17.9 × 100) ÷ (2.38 × 100)

Simplifying the expression gives:

1790 ÷ 238 = 7.52

Therefore, 17.9 ÷ 2.38 can be rewritten as 7.52, where the divisor is a whole number.
