15/4 equals 3?

[crowandrabbit]

Hi, I'm confused when the output given to me is 3, when I want it to be 3.75. I know if I do 15 %4 I would get a 3 but why would the following code also output a 3?
sorry if its an obvious answer

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    float x;
    x = 15/4;
    cout << x;
    return 0;
}

Put a decimal point after 15 thus 15./4
