If the decimals are giving you a problem this is a way round it!

$\frac{5.55}{0.15} = 37$ $5.55/0.15=37$

Explanation:

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However, 1 comes in many forms.

$\frac{5.55}{0.15} \times 1 d \to d \frac{5.55}{0.15} \times \frac{100}{100}$ $color(green)(5.55/0.15color(red)(xx1) color(white)("d")->color(white)("d")5.55/0.15 color(red)(xx100/100)$

$dddddddd \to dddd \frac{555}{15}$ $color(green)(color(white)("dddddddd")->color(white)("dddd") 555/15$

For multiply or divide; what you do the top you do to the bottom.

$dddddddd \to dddd \frac{555 \div 5}{15 \div 5} = \frac{111}{3} = 37$ $color(green)(color(white)("dddddddd")->color(white)("dddd") (555-:5)/(15-:5) = 111/3 = 37$
