Question

Solve for x
$\frac{76.125}{x}=0.76125$

• A. $10$
• B. ${10}^2$
• C. ${10}^3$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B ${10}^2$

Given, $\frac{76.125}{x}=0.76125(\because \text{Only the location of a decimal point is differnt})$

When you divide 76.125 by x, you get 0.76125, with the decimal point shifted two places to the left.

Now find x: A decimal point gets shifted two places to the left when a decimal number is divided by 100.

Hence, 76.125 is divided by 100, we get 0.76125


Hence, $x=100={10}^2$
