To determine the value of the expression
[tex]\[
\frac{5.2 - 2.25}{0.05}
\][/tex]
we need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the numerator:
[tex]\[
5.2 - 2.25 = 2.95
\][/tex]
2. Identify the denominator:
[tex]\[
0.05
\][/tex]
3. Perform the division:
[tex]\[
\frac{2.95}{0.05}
\][/tex]
To divide 2.95 by 0.05:
- We can think about how many times 0.05 fits into 2.95.
- One way to simplify the division is by converting the denominator into a whole number:
[tex]\[
\frac{2.95}{0.05} = \frac{295}{5} \text{ (since multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 100 to eliminate the decimal)}
\][/tex]
- Now, divide 295 by 5:
[tex]\[
295 \div 5 = 59
\][/tex]
Therefore, the value of the expression is:
[tex]\[
59
\][/tex]
So, the correct answer is:
1. 59
