Answer 1

D 3 ones, 0 tenths, 5 hundredths

Step-by-step explanation:

9.15 divided by 3.

915/3 = 305

Then, moving the decimal point two units to the left, we have 3.05.

The last number before the decimal point is called ones, which means that we have 3 ones.

The first number after the decimal point is called tenths, which means that we have 0 tenths.

The second number after the decimal point is called hundredths, which means that we have 5 hundredths.

The correct answer is given by option D.
