Answer:

15: 5, 2.5, 1.6666......

27: 9, 4.5, 3

Explanation:

For 15:

So first you divide 15 by 5, which equals 3

Long division:

then by 6. 15/6 can be simplified to 5/2, which can be easier to figure out.

And by nine. 15/9 can be simplified to 5/3 which is harder than 5/2, but you can figure it out by long division. 3 fits once in 5, and there is two left over. Add a decimal after 1 and a zero after the two. 3 fits 6 times into 20 (18), but the cycle continues forever resulting in 1.666666.......

For 27:

27/3 is nine

for 27/6 you can simplify to 9/2, which is like 90/2=45, just move the decimal over one spot to make 4.5

for 27/9, the answer is 3
