Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given,

The cost of one book = $2.25

Since, it takes $2.25 to buy 1 book.

The, for $10, we can get i.e. = 4.44

Since, number of books cannot be in decimals.

So, the closest integer to 4.44 is 4.

Hence, we can buy 4 books from $10.

Now, according to the options:

A.

B.

C.

D.

Hence, we see that from the options, A is correct.

Answer:

A. $\left \lfloor \frac{10}{2.25} \right \rfloor$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given,

The cost of one book = $2.25

Since, it takes $2.25 to buy 1 book.

The, for $10, we can get $\frac{1}{2.25}\times 10$ i.e. $\frac{10}{2.25}$ = 4.44

Since, number of books cannot be in decimals.

So, the closest integer to 4.44 is 4.

Hence, we can buy 4 books from $10.

Now, according to the options:

A. $\left \lfloor \frac{10}{2.25} \right \rfloor = \left \lfloor 4.44\right \rfloor = 4$

B. $\left \lceil \frac{10}{2.25} \right \rceil = \left \lceil 4.44 \right \rceil=5$

C. $\frac{10}{\left \lceil 2.25\right \rceil} =\frac{10}{3} =0.33$

D. $\frac{10}{\left \lfloor 2.25\right \rfloor} = \frac{10}{2} = 5$

Hence, we see that from the options, A is correct.
