Answer:

D

Explanation:

well, it all starts with a check, what calculations in the answer options are even correct.

A. is correct. 0.66/3 = 0.22

B. is incorrect

C. is incorrect

D. is correct. 0.78/3 = 0.26

so is it A or B ?

one group of 2 tens and 6 ones : how much is that ?

2×10 + 6×1 = 20 + 6 = 26

3 groups of 26 means

3×26 = 78

so, the combination of the 3 groups would either show that

3×26 = 78

or

78/3 = 26

and that is the same as showing

0.78/3 = 0.26

because

0.78 = 78/100

0.26 = 26/100

therefore

78/100 / 3 = 26/100

78/100 = 3×26/100 = 78/100

correct.
