Question

Ella completed the division problem below.

Answer 1

option B

Elia multiply the dividend by 100 instead of 10.

Explanation:

Given that,

divisor = 0.6

dividend = 1.848

Elia decided to multiply each by 10 to get

divisor = 0.6 x 10 = 6

dividend = 1.848 x 10 = 18.48

but unfortunately she multiply the dividend by 100

As,

1.848 x 100 = 184.8

So,

Elia's error was that she multiply the dividend by 100 instead of 10.
