Final answer:

The division of 7045 by 15 results in 469 with a remainder of 10. When expressed as a decimal, this would be approximately 469.67. None of the answer choices in the question accurately represent this result.

Step-by-step explanation:

The result of 7045 divided by 15 is 469 with a remainder of 10. Therefore, in decimal form, the answer would be 469.666... which can be rounded to 469.67 for two decimal places.

To perform this calculation step by step, you would use long division. You divide 7045 by 15 and find that 15 goes into 70, 4 times (60) and you subtract to get a remainder of 10. Then you bring down the 4 to get 104, divide by 15 to get 6, and so on, until you're left with 10, which is less than 15, indicating you are left with a remainder.

If we were to write this in decimal form right from the beginning, 15 does not divide evenly into 7045, so instead, we get a repeating decimal with 6 recurring. Thus, none of the answer choices provided in the question, which are all in fractional form, are correct.
