Answer:
A. 10 + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
288 ÷ 24 is shown below. 240 ÷ 24 = 10 288 – 240 = 48 48 ÷ 24 = 2
After obtaining the quotient of 288 ÷ 24 = 10,
Multiplying the divisor 24 by 10 = 240 and subtracting 240 from 288 to obtain the remainder = 48, the divisor is again used in 48 and the quotient obtained is added to the intula quotient value of 10 ; (10 + 2) and the process repeated
