Evaluate : (i) 35 ÷ 0.07 (ii) 2.5 ÷ 0.0005 (iii) 136.09 ÷ 43.9
Answer: D
Clear the decimal from the divisor by multiplying both numbers by the same power of ten, then divide.
(i) \[ \frac{35}{0.07} = \frac{3500}{7} = 500 \]
(ii) \[ \frac{2.5}{0.0005} = \frac{25000}{5} = 5000 \]
(iii) \[ \frac{136.09}{43.9} = \frac{1360.9}{439} \approx 3.1 \]
Dividing by a number smaller than 1 always makes the result larger, which is why the first two answers are so much bigger than the numbers they start from.
