D. 487/0.0024 ≈ 121750

Answer 1

The correct rounded answer is C:
`\( (487.0)/(0.0024) = 203041.67 \).`Other options do not match the result.

Let's break down the steps for the given equation
`\( (487.0)/(0.0024) = 121750.0 \)` and analyze each option:

Step 1:Perform the division
`\( (487.0)/(0.0024) \).`

`\[ (487.0)/(0.0024) \approx 202916.67 \]`

Step 2:Compare the result with the provided answers.

A. \( 487/0.0024 = 121750 \) - This is incorrect. The calculation yields approximately 202916.67, not 121750.

B. 487.0/0.0024 \approx 203041.67 - This is incorrect. The calculated result is close but not exactly 203041.67.

C.
`\( 487.0/0.0024 = 203041.67 \)` - This is the correct answer. The rounded result matches the given value of 121750.0.

D.
`\( 487/0.0024 \approx 121750 \)` - This is incorrect. The calculation yields approximately 202916.67, not 121750.

Therefore, the correct rounded answer is option C:
`\( (487.0)/(0.0024) = 203041.67 \).`
