What value will come in place of question mark in the following equation?

(i) 0.006 ÷ ? = 0.6   (ii) ? ÷ 0.025 = 80

  • A.(i)0.11
    (ii)1
  • B.(i)0.01
    (ii)2
  • C.(i)2.21
    (ii)2
  • D.(i)1.01
    (ii)3

Answer: B

Rearrange each equation for the unknown.

(i) From \( 0.006 \div ? = 0.6 \):

\[ ? = \frac{0.006}{0.6} = 0.01 \]

(ii) From \( ? \div 0.025 = 80 \):

\[ ? = 80 \times 0.025 = 2 \]

The two rearrange in opposite directions: in the first the unknown is the divisor and so divides across, in the second it is the dividend and so multiplies.
