Answer :
To convert [tex]\( \frac{15}{9} \)[/tex] to a decimal, you divide 15 by 9. Here's how you can do it step-by-step:
1. Set up the division, 15 divided by 9.
2. 9 goes into 15 one time, so place 1 above the division line.
3. Multiply 9 by 1 to get 9, and subtract this from 15. You are left with 6.
4. Bring down a 0 to make it 60.
5. 9 goes into 60 six times, so place 6 next to the first 1 above the division line.
6. Multiply 9 by 6 to get 54, and subtract this from 60. You are left with 6 again.
7. Bring down another 0 to make it 60.
8. Repeat the steps where 9 goes into 60 six times, continue the pattern.
This repeating division results in a decimal value of approximately 1.666..., which rounds to 1.67.
So, the best answer is C. 1.67.
