Answer:

123.4

Explanation:

Change the divisor 2.4 to a whole number by moving the decimal point 1 place to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend the same, 1 place to the right.

We then have the equations:

2961.6 ÷ 24 = 123.400

and therefore:

296.16 ÷ 2.4 = 123.400

Both calculated to 3 decimal places.
