Question

Find the digit in the tenths place of A:

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 8

Answer 1

The correct option is B 4

To find the tenths digit of A, we first have to calculate the value of A.

So, we calculate 34.23 $÷$ 3.

Now, 34.23 $÷$ 3 can be written as:


Representing 1.23 as a grid model, we get:


To calculate 1.23 $÷$ 3, we divide the model into 3 equal parts:


Similarly, calculating 1.23 $÷$ 3 using the standard method, we get:


Hence, 1.23 $÷$ 3 = 0.41

Combining this with the initial equation, we get:


Comparing this to the given equation, we find:


Placing A in the place value table, we get:


Hence, the digit in the tenths place of A is 4.
