easy Q3 of 15

Numerical Ability - Simplification & Approximation

A5/3

B3/5

C5/4

D10/7

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Flip the divisor and multiply
Flip and multiply: (18/20) ÷ (27/50) = (18/20) × (50/27).
Step 2: Cancel stepwise
Cancel stepwise: divide 18 and 27 by 9 → 2 and 3; divide 50 and 20 by 10 → 5 and 2.
Step 3: Compute and simplify
Now (2×5)/(3×2) = 10/6 = 5/3.
Final Answer:
5/3 → Option A.
Quick Check:
0.9 ÷ 0.54 = 1.6667 ✅

Quick Trick: Flip the divisor, then cancel before multiplying.
