Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

75.57 ÷ 0.01 =

(a) 7557 (b) 0.7557 (c) 755.7 (d) 7.557

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} 75.57÷0.01 \\ =\frac{75.57}{0.01} \\ =\frac{75.57\times 100}{0.01\times 100}\left(\mathrm{Multiply}\mathrm{numerator}\mathrm{and}\mathrm{denominator}\mathrm{by}100\mathrm{to}\mathrm{convert}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{divisor}\mathrm{into}\mathrm{whole}\mathrm{number}\right) \\ =\frac{7557}{1} \\ =7557 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
