write \\(\frac{28}{15}\\) as a decimal.
select one:
a. 28.13
b. 4.53
c. 1.86
d. 4.36

Explanation:

Step1: Divide numerator by denominator

To convert the fraction $\frac{28}{15}$ to a decimal, we perform the division $28 \div 15$.

Step2: Perform the division

$28 \div 15 = 1.866\ldots \approx 1.87$ (but looking at the options, we calculate precisely: $15\times1 = 15$, $28 - 15 = 13$; bring down a zero: $130\div15 = 8$ (since $15\times8 = 120$), remainder $10$; bring down a zero: $100\div15 = 6$ (since $15\times6 = 90$), remainder $10$. So it's $1.866\ldots$, which is approximately $1.87$, but the option c is $1.86$ (maybe rounded to two decimal places or as per the options). Wait, let's recalculate: $28\div15 = 1.8666\ldots$, so the closest option is c. 1.86? Wait, no, let's check the options again. Wait, the options are a. 28.13, b. 4.53, c. 1.86, d. 4.36. Wait, $28\div15$: 15*1=15, 28-15=13. 13/15=0.866..., so total is 1.866..., which is approximately 1.86 (option c) or 1.87, but among the options, c is 1.86. So the correct calculation is $28\div15 = 1.866\ldots \approx 1.86$ (if we take two decimal places).

Answer:

c. 1.86
