Explanation:

Answer 2

The error is:

He multiplied the dividend by 100 instead of 10

Explanation:

∵ 1.926 ÷ 0.9 ⇒ means

1.926 = 1926/1000 ⇒ dividend

0.9 = 9/10 ⇒ divisor

*
`(1926)/(1000)` ÷
`(9)/(10)`

`(1926)/(1000)` ×
`(10)/(9)`

`(1926)/(100)` ×
`(1)/(9)`

∵ 1926/100 = 19.26 ⇒ dividend

∴ 19.26 ÷ 9 = 1926/100 ÷ 9

19 ÷ 9 = 2 with remainder 1/9

12 ÷ 9 = 1 with remainder 3/9

36 ÷ 9 = 4 no remainder

∴ The quotient is 214/100 = 2.14
