Option B. To solve 6/2.6 + 1, we divide 6 by 2.6 and then add 1, yielding approximately 3.3077, which does not match any of the answer choices, suggesting a possible typo in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question is to solve the equation 6/2.6 + 1. To solve it, we'll first perform the division and then add 1 to the result.

• Divide 6 by 2.6, which gives approximately 2.3077.
• Add 1 to the result of the division.
• 2.3077 + 1 equals 3.3077.

To solve the expression 6/2.6 + 1, we first divide 6 by 2.6 to get the decimal answer.

6 ÷ 2.6 = 2.3077 (rounded to four decimal places)

Then, we add 1 to the decimal answer to get the final result:

2.3077 + 1 = 3.3077 (rounded to four decimal places)

So, the answer to the expression 6/2.6 + 1 is approximately 3.3077.

Looking at the answer choices provided, none of them match the result precisely. However, if this is a typo and the actual equation was supposed to be 6/2 + 1, then the calculation would be 3 + 1 which equals to 4. This might be a misprint or misunderstanding in the question as provided.
