What is the quotient of 77 divided by 19 to three decimal places?

This is a multiple choice question and the alternatives are as follows a. 4.526 b.4527 c. 4.053 d. 4.052

Answer 1

The correct answer would be C. 4.053

Explanation:

When a question is asking for the quotient of two numbers, it's asking the answer of the two numbers divided.

`77 ÷ 19 = 4.052631579` (this is what appeared on my calculator screen)

Then, to round to three decimal places, just count out three numbers after the decimal!

`4.052`

However, when rounding, always check the digit after the last number you're rounding.

The decimal rounded out to three places is 4.052 and the decimal with the number after the last digit included is 4.0526

Since the last digit (6) is 5 and above, the answer would be 4.053
If the last digit would have been lower than 5 (ex: 4.0522) the answer would have been 4.052

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 4.053
