156.25 `div` 25 `div` 5 = ?

Options

A. 125
B. 1.25
C. 0.125
D. 12.5

Answer

To solve the expression \( 156.25 \div 25 \div 5 \), we will follow the order of operations, performing the divisions step by step.

### Step 1: Divide 156.25 by 25
First, we will calculate:
\[ 156.25 \div 25 \]
To perform this division, we can set it up as follows:
- 25 goes into 156.25 how many times?

Calculating:
- 25 goes into 156 six times (since \( 25 \times 6 = 150 \)).
- Subtract 150 from 156.25, which gives us \( 156.25 - 150 = 6.25 \).
- Now, we bring down the decimal point and consider the next digits.
- 25 goes into 6.25 a total of 0 times, so we have \( 6.25 \).

Thus, we have:
\[ 156.25 \div 25 = 6.25 \]

### Step 2: Divide the result by 5
Now we take the result from the first division and divide it by 5:
\[ 6.25 \div 5 \]
To perform this division:
- 5 goes into 6 one time (since \( 5 \times 1 = 5 \)).
- Subtract 5 from 6.25, which gives us \( 6.25 - 5 = 1.25 \).
- Now, we bring down the decimal point and consider the next digit.
- 5 goes into 2 zero times, so we have \( 0 \).
- Finally, 5 goes into 25 five times (since \( 5 \times 5 = 25 \)).

Thus, we have:
\[ 6.25 \div 5 = 1.25 \]

### Final Result
Putting it all together, we find:
\[ 156.25 \div 25 \div 5 = 1.25 \]

### Answer
The final answer is \( 1.25 \).
