The expression equivalent to 5.4 x 0.18 is $(54 \times 18) \times (\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{1}{100})$

Option A is correct

The given expression is:

5.4 x 0.18

Convert 5.4 to fraction

$\frac{5.4}{1}$

Multiply the numerator and denominator by 10

$\frac{5.4}{1} \times \frac{10}{10} = \frac{54}{10}$

Convert 0.18 to fraction by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 100

$\frac{0.18}{1} \times \frac{100}{100} \\\frac{18}{100}$

Therefore, 5.4 x 0.18 can be written in fraction form as:

$\frac{54}{10} \times \frac{18}{100}$

Separate the numerators and the denominators as shown below

$(54 \times 18) \times (\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{1}{100})$

The expression equivalent to 5.4 x 0.18 is $(54 \times 18) \times (\frac{1}{10} \times \frac{1}{100})$
