Answer 1

The quotient of 3.488 ÷ 0.2 is 17.44.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the quotient of 3.488 ÷ 0.2, we can use long division. Here is the step-by-step process:

1. Start by dividing the first digit of 3.488 (which is 3) by 0.2. The result is 15, which becomes the first digit of the quotient.
2. Multiply the quotient digit 15 by the divisor 0.2 and subtract the result from 3.488. The subtraction gives us 3.488 - 0.2 × 15 = 0.788.
3. Bring down the next digit from the dividend, which is 8, and append it to the right of 0.788. Now we have 0.7888.
4. Divide 0.7888 by 0.2. The result is 3.944, which becomes the next digit in the quotient.
5. Multiply the quotient digit 3.944 by the divisor 0.2 and subtract the result from 0.7888. The subtraction gives us 0.7888 - 0.2 × 3.944 = 0.

The quotient of 3.488 ÷ 0.2 is 17.44, so the correct answer is option 4).
