Final answer:

Option C) 913 ÷ 29 = 31.14 is not a correct way to show the answer to a division problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the answer choices given, option C) 913 ÷ 29 = 31.14 is not a correct way to show the answer to a division problem.

When dividing, the quotient should be an integer if there is no remainder. In this case, the answer is 31 with a remainder of 14, which is correctly represented in option A) 913 ÷ 29 = 31 r 14 and option D) 913 ÷ 29 = 31.

The answer shown in option B) 913 ÷ 29 = 31 14/29 is also correct because it represents the answer as a mixed number, which can be another way to express the quotient and remainder.
