Find the value of \(0.125 + 0.027\) / \(0.25 - 0.15 + 0.09\).

  • A.0.2
  • B.0.3
  • C.0.5
  • D.0.8

Answer: D

The numerator is in the form \(a^3+b^3\) and the denominator is in the form \(a^2-ab+b^2\). Let a=0.5 and b=0.3. Then \(a^3=0.125\) and \(b^3=0.027\). Denominator is \(a^2-ab+b^2 = 0.5^2 - (0.5)(0.3) + 0.3^2 = 0.25 - 0.15 + 0.09\). This matches.

We know that \(a^3+b^3 = (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)\).

So the expression simplifies to \(a+b\).

Value = 0.5 + 0.3 = 0.8.
