Answer 1

The correct option is A True

If a given statement is correct, then we have to get a quotient as 309.4 when 3712.8 is divided by 12

Let's divide and verify it:

Value of one part $=3712.8÷12$

Steps to solve $3712.8÷12$
Step 1: Count the number of digits after decimal point

Step 2: Ignore a decimal point and perform the long division, as you would with whole numbers as follows

Step 3: Now place a decimal point back.
3712.8 has 1 decimal places. So, place the decimal point 1 places to the left in the quotient 3094.

Value of one part is 309.4 . Hence, the statement is true.
