Final answer:

To divide 6.13 by 0.05, multiply by the reciprocal of 0.05, which is 20, resulting in 122.6. Since the value is already to the nearest tenth, 122.6 is the correct answer, corresponding to option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to divide 6.13 by 0.05 and express the answer to the nearest tenth. To perform the division, we first recognize that dividing by 0.05 is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, which is 20. Therefore, 6.13 × 20 results in 122.6. When we round 122.6 to the nearest tenth, we keep it the same, since the digit in the hundredths place is zero. Hence, the correct answer to the question is 122.6, which corresponds to option C.
