Answer 2

93

Explanation:

Given number = 74.4

Divisor = 0.8

`\[(74.4)/(0.8) = (74.4*10)/(0.8*10)\]`

`\[= (744)/(8)\]`

Simplifying,

`\[= (744/ 4)/(8/ 4)\]`

`\[= (186)/(2)\]`

`\[= 93\]`

Validating by multiplying the quotient and divisor,

`\[93 * 0.8\]`

`\[= 74.4\]`

This is equal to the dividend.
