Answer 1

Evaluate 1.80/Y for y= 0.009

We replace 0.009 for y

So fraction becomes $\frac{1.80}{0.009}$

Now , to simplify the fraction we try to remove the decimal from denominator

0.009 have three digits after the decimal point, so we multiply by 1000 to remove the decimal point. Multiply top and bottom by 1000 to make equivalent fraction.

$\frac{1.80*1000}{0.009*1000}$

$\frac{1800}{9}$ = 200

Answer is 200
