Answer:

First, you have a wrong expression for the options given. Secondly, it seems that the right expression when evaluated, equals 0.026. See below what you can do to solve this problem.

The answers are A, D and F

Explanation:

The expression given here does not correlate with any of the options.

94.3 ÷ 10 = 9.43

I assume the '2' which is one space after the '10' is the serial number of this question in your textbook or classwork.

Even if the 2 was supposed to be attached to the 10, that'll be 102 and [94.3 ÷ 102] is equal to 0.9245

Given this confusion, it's safest to assume that the right expression when evaluated, will equal 0.026

Now based on this, 3 options that apply (3 options that mean the same thing or that properly describe the answer from the evaluation) are:

(A) The expression is equivalent to (this is the symbol for 'equivalent to' '≡') 0.026

(D) It is the same as dividing 26 by 1000. 26 divided by 1000 will give you 0.026

(F) It is the same as [26 ÷ 10 ÷ 10 ÷ 10]. Simply put all the 10s as denominators and then divide 26 by the total of the multiplied 10s. That is, 10x10x10 = 1000 then 26÷1000
