You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{16.5}{1.1}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[\frac{16.5}{1.1} = 15\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{16.5}{1.1}& = \left(16 + \frac{5}{10}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{10}}\\& = \left(16 + \frac{1}{2}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{10}}\\& = \frac{33}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1}{10}}\\& = \frac{33}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\frac{11}{10}}\\& = 15\end{aligned}\]
