Solution

The correct option is A 35
243 is a mixed fraction.
For simplification, convert mixed fraction into improper fraction.

243=2×3+43=103
So, now we have do divide: 2÷103
We can write 2 as 21
2÷103=21÷103

Take a reciprocal of the second fraction and multiply with the first fraction as follows

21÷103=21×310

=2×31×10

=2×32×5

=35

Hence, 2 ÷ 243=35
