the correct placement of the decimal point in the quotient is option D

Step-by-step explanation:

First we solve the divison problem

4÷8.40= 0.48

We check the options that hsa same decimal placement.

The only option with a 0 before the decimal point is option D

when we look at the result of our division (also known as quotient), we see it has only 0 before the decimal point.

Hence, the correct placement of the decimal point in the quotient is option D (0.210)
