Answer 1

b

Explanation:

:D

Answer 2

Answer:b

Explanation:

C and D are wrong because both of them should be divided and by 100. A is wrong because you are supposed to divide because if you multiply 3.5 x 100 its 350 and it just doesn’t make any sense because milli is smaller than deci. So by process of elimination b is the right answer.
