Answer

Problem

Find the quotient \$(6.96) \div (6.2)\$.

Step

Given the problem

\$(6.96) \div (6.2)\$

Step

Multiply both dividend and divisor by 10 to eliminate the decimal in the divisor

\$(6.96/6.2) \times (10/10) = 69.6/62\$

Step

Divide

\$(69.6) \div (62) = 1.122\$

Step

Therefore, the quotient is

\$1.122\$

SumUp

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

Choice.A

This option is incorrect. The quotient of \$5.28/4.4\$ is less than 1, so 4.45 cannot be the correct answer

4.45

Choice.B

This option is incorrect. 3.34 is also greater than 1, but the quotient of \$5.28/4.4\$ is less than 1

3.34

Choice.C

Correct, as it matches the calculated result

1.122

Choice.D

Incorrect, as the correct result is 1.12, not 2.23

2.23
