Final answer:

The division of 149 by 23 results in approximately 6.48, which none of the given options match. Option g (2 and 1 over 6) is the closest, but it is not the accurate result of the division. There is a mistake in the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The result of dividing 149 by 23 is approximately 6.4782608696. However, none of the options provided (a through g) in the question exactly match this result. The division does not result in a whole number, and it seems there might have been a mistake in the provided options. To find the correct answer, one would typically divide the numbers using long division or a calculator to ensure accuracy.

Given the options, the closest one appears to be option g, which is 2 and 1 over 6. When simplified, 23 goes into 149 a total of 6 times with a remainder, and not just over 2 as the option suggests. Thus, an error has occurred in the formulation of the question or the given answer options.
