Question

Find the value of 35 ÷ 77 (rounded off to 2 decimal places).

• A. 0.44
• B. 0.45
• C. 0.46
• D. 0.47

Answer 1

The correct option is B 0.45

Given: 35 ÷ 77

Using the long division, we have:

$$\begin{array}{c}0.4545\\ 77350\\ -\underset{–}{308}2\\ 420\\ -\underset{–}{385}\\ 350\\ -\underset{–}{308}\\ 420\\ -\underset{–}{385}\\ 35\end{array}$$

Therefore,
35 ÷ 77 = 0.4545...
On rounding off to 2 decimal places,
0.4545 = 0.45 (Since the digit at thousandths place is less than 5.)
