Answer:

1.2

Explanation:

How I would calculate it would be 10.80 divided by 9 or start timesing 1 with a decimal like 1.1 or 1.2.

but anyway 10.80 divided by 9=1.2 and if you just want to make sure then what is 1.2 x 9 it = 10.80

Here is my calculations for what is 1.20 x 9

1 . 20

9

_________

10 . 8 0

Since there is no didget beside the 2 you would add a zero

since 9 x 2=18 you add a 1 for 1 x 9 =9 + 1=10 and there's your answer.

Answer=1.2

Hope this helps have a great day:)
