Answer 1

C. The equation should x/17=118.82

Explanation:

We know that

Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient

Dividend/Divisor = Quotient

From the question, we are told that:

The quotient of a number and 17 is 118.82

Let us represent the unknown number as x = Dividend

17 = Divisor

Quotient = 118.82

Hence,

x / 17 = 118.82

Cross Multiply

x = 17 × 118.82

x = 2019.94

The correct answer = Option C. The equation should x/17=118.82
