    B 1.08 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 0.108 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 10.8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    28957.5 ÷ 268.125 = 108, then 289.575 ÷ 2681.25 28957.5 ÷ 268.125 = 108 to shift two places of decimal in numerator, divide by 100 =289.575 = multiply by 10 in denominator to shift decimal right by one place =2681.25 Now, L.H. S= 289.575 ÷ 2681.25 Hence, the same thing should be done to R.H.S as well i.e. divide the numerator by 100 and multiply the denominator by 10 i.e. (1/100) ÷ 10=1/1000 108/1000=0.108 289.5752681.25 = 0.108.
