Option A: 11) 67.43 = 6.13
Option B: 11) 674.3 = 61.3
Option C: 11) 67.43 = 61.3
Option D: 11) 674.3 = 63.1

Answer 1

To make the divisor a whole number in the division 67.43 ÷ 1.1, multiply both the dividend and divisor by 10. The correct setup for long division is 11) 674.3 = 61.3, as shown in Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To rewrite 67.43 ÷ 1.1 to make the divisor a whole number, you must multiply both the dividend and the divisor by a power of 10 that will make the divisor a whole number. In this case, multiplying by 10 makes 1.1 into 11, a whole number. So the equation becomes 674.3 ÷ 11. This is represented by Option B: 11) 674.3 = 61.3. When you perform the long division, you'll find that 674.3 divided by 11 does indeed equal 61.3.
