Question

Harriet calculated 27 divided 4 = 6.75 how can you find 270 divided 4 without dividing

Answer 1

Rewrite and make substitution.

Step-by-step explanation

Since Harriet calculated 27 divided 4 and had 6.75.

This means that:

`(27)/(4) = 6.75`

Now we want to find

`(270)/(4)`

without divide.

Therefore we need to rewrite the expression so in terms of

`(27)/(4)`

so that we can substitute.

This will give us;

`(270)/(4) = (27)/(4) * 10`

This implies that,

`(270)/(4) = 6.75 * 10`

`(270)/(4) = 67.5`
