Question

Find the missing value.
$2.25÷9+1\frac{1}{8}-(6.5\times 0.2)=\underset{–}{?}\times \frac{1}{4}$.

• A. $0.075$
• B. $0.3$
• C. $1.3$
• D. $1.375$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $0.3$

Let the missing number be $x$.
Then we have,
$2.25÷9+1\frac{1}{8}-(6.5\times 0.2)=x\times \frac{1}{4}$
$\Rightarrow 2.25÷9+\frac{9}{8}-1.3=x\times \frac{1}{4}$
$\Rightarrow 0.25+1.125-1.3=x\times \frac{1}{4}$
$\Rightarrow 0.075=x\times \frac{1}{4}\Rightarrow x=0.075\times 4$
$\Rightarrow x=0.3$.
