187.5÷12.5=15 before solving, the equation would basically be asking, how many times does the amount 12.5 go into 187.5? so after solving you get the amount 15 because 12.5 goes into 187.5 15 times
How many times 12.5 goes into 187.5 is what you are being asked to find..and that is 15..u can cross check your answer by multiplying 15 by 12.5 to see if u get 187.5..hope this helps
