Answer:
27/200
Step-by-step explanation:
your teacher tried to be tricky.
0.135 is simply 135/1000.
that is how you can express any finite decimal number.
anyway, now, we need to transform that fraction into one of the provided fractions. so, which one fits ?
with experience you see it right away. otherwise by simply trying.
in any case, the first option is the right one.
proof :
27/200 = 135/1000 ?
the denominator is our driver : what factor do I need to turn 200 into 1000 ? right, 5 ! 200×5 = 1000
so, we multiply numerator and denominator by 5 (it is important to do that for both, so that the value of the fraction does not change).
27/200 × 5/5 = (27×5) / (200×5) = 135/1000
and that is the proof. 27/200 is indeed 0.135
