B. It will be the tens place because 6 is greater than 3.

O

C. It will be the hundreds place because 6 is less than 3.

d

D. It will be the hundreds place because 6 is greater than 3.

Answer 1

B. It will be the tens place because 6 is greater than 3.

Explanation:

Since the question said "quotient," then I believe we have 362 ÷ 6 and not "362 + 6."

If we work on the quotient we have

`60(1)/(3)`

Obviously, the first digit in the quotient is 6 and it takes the place of tens.

Looking at the options, option B fits the most because 6 is actually greater than 3.

Therefore, the answer is option B, It will be the tens place because 6 is greater than 3.
