Question

What is the quotient? 212,960 - 1000 o 2.1296 21.296 212.96 0 2129.6

Answer 1

The quotient is 212.96.

Solution:

Given expression is $\frac{212,960}{1000}$.

Divide the given expression to find the quotient.

Decimal rule when numerator is divided by 10, 100, 1000, 10000 etc..

• If you have one zero in the divisor (10), then the decimal point will move 1 place to the left of the last digit.
• If you have two zeros in the divisor (100), then the decimal point will move 2 place to the left of the last digit.
• If you have three zeros in the divisor (1000), then the decimal point will move 3 place to the left of the last digit.

$212960\div1000=\frac{212960}{1000}$

Here, we have 3 zeros in the denominator.

So, the decimal point is move 3 digit to the left of the last digit.

$212960\div1000=212.96$

So, option C is the right answer.

Hence the quotient is 212.96.
