Answer 1

Its actually C

Explanation:

|So you first divide 29 from 40. You will need to long divide...because 40 cant go into 29. you will put a 0 on the top then you will put a decimal behind the 0 representing your going into the tenths, and then from there you just divide like you usually do.

Hope you get it, if you need more explanation please tell me :)
