• A. 0.57
• B. 0.59
• C. 0.62
• D. 0.64

Answer 1

The correct option is C 0.62

Given:
61 ÷ 99,

Using the long division, we have:

$$\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{0.6161..}\\ 99610\\ -\underset{–}{594}2\\ 160\\ -\underset{–}{99}\\ 610\\ -\underset{–}{594}\\ 160\\ -\underset{–}{99}\\ 61\end{array}$$

Therefore,
61 ÷ 99 = 0.6161..

Rounding off to the send decimal place,
0.6161.. = 0.62 (Since the digit at thousandths place is ≥ 5.)
