Question

which division expression can you use to write \\(\frac{11}{15}\\) as a decimal? \\(1\enclose{longdiv}{5}\\) \\(5\enclose{longdiv}{1}\\) \\(11\enclose{longdiv}{15}\\) \\(15\enclose{longdiv}{11}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Relate fraction to division

A fraction $\frac{a}{b}$ is equivalent to dividing the numerator $a$ by the denominator $b$, so $\frac{11}{15} = 11 \div 15$.

Step2: Match to long division format

Long division notation places the divisor outside the bracket and the dividend inside. For $11 \div 15$, this is written as $15 \enclose{longdiv}{11}$.

Answer:

$15 \enclose{longdiv}{11}$
