Question

Jiangsu divided 751.6 by 10 to the second power and obtained a quotient of 0.7516. Yessenia thinks the quotient. Who has the reason? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Yessenia is correct.

Explanation:

Supose Yessenia thinks the quotient is 7.516, then Yessenia is correct.

The reason why Yessenia is correct is that, if we interpret the question mathematically, we have:

`= (751.6)/(10^2)`

`= (751.6)/(100)`

From above the decimal point will shift to the left twice since we are dividing 751.6 by 100, which is:

= 7.516 and not 0.7516
