Answer:
18.240
Step-by-step explanation:
Change the divisor 0.3 to a whole number by moving the decimal point 1 places to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend the same, 1 places to the right.
We then have the equations:
54.72 ÷ 3 = 18.240
and therefore:
5.472 ÷ 0.3 = 18.240
Both calculated to 3 decimal places.
