Answer:
1.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given number = 7.2
Divisor = 5.6
\(\[\frac{7.2}{5.6} = \frac{7.2*10}{5.6*10}\]\)
\(\[= \frac{72}{56}\]\)
Simplifying,
\(\[= \frac{72\div 4}{56\div 4}\]\)
\(\[= \frac{18}{14}\]\)
\(\[= \frac{18\div 2}{14\div 2}\]\)
\(\[= \frac{9}{7}\]\)
\(\[= 1.285\]\)
\(\[= 1.3\]\) (to the nearest tenth)
Validating by multiplying the quotient and divisor,
\(\[1.3 * 5.6\]\)
\(\[= 7.28\]\)
This is approximately equal to the dividend subject to rounding error.
