I need to know how to solve a math problem 45.2:0.2

Convert this to fractions to get: (452/10) / (2/10)

This is equal to 4520/20, which simplifies to 226.

45.2/0.2 = something

we might like to make all the numbers whole numbers (1,2,3,4,5, ...)

to keep fractions the same, we must multiply the top number and bottom number by the same number if we want to manipulate it

we want to move the decimal place 1 place to the right so we multiply by 10

do the same on top and bottom so 10/10 times 45.2/0.2=452/2=226
