Find the value of ∗ in the following :

\(60.04 \div 0.02 = \ast \times 0.5\)

Answer: B

The value is 6004.

First divide: \(60.04 \div 0.02 = 6004 \div 2 = 3002\) (multiplying both numbers by 100 removes the decimals). Then:

\[ \begin{aligned} \ast \times 0.5 &= 3002 \\ \ast &= \frac{3002}{0.5} = 6004 \end{aligned} \]

Check: \(6004 \times 0.5 = 3002\). The options 60.04 and 600.4 misplace the decimal point, and 6004.4 adds a stray digit.
