1 Answer
Verified archiveTo find an equivalent expression with a whole number divisor, we can multiply both the dividend and the divisor by 10 to eliminate the decimal in the divisor.
Starting with the original expression:
14.56 ÷ 2.8
If we multiply both by 10, we get:
145.6 ÷ 28
So, the correct answer is:
3. 145.6 ÷ 28
This makes the division simpler because now we are dividing by a whole number. If you have any follow-up questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
