Question 10

76 ÷ 0.01 = 7,600

Dividing 76 by 0.01 results in 7,600, as this operation is equivalent to multiplying 76 by 100.

A) 0.76

This option is incorrect because dividing by a decimal less than 1 actually increases the value. Instead of decreasing, the result should be a much larger number.

B) 7.6

This choice is also incorrect. While 7.6 is a smaller number, dividing by 0.01 should yield a much larger result, not a reduction.

C) 760

This option is incorrect as well. Although 760 is a larger number, it does not represent the correct outcome of the division; the actual result is significantly larger.

D) 7,600

This option is correct because dividing 76 by 0.01 is the same as multiplying 76 by 100, leading to 7,600.

Conclusion

The correct answer is 7,600, as division by a small decimal increases the value. Other options fail to recognize that dividing by 0.01 scales the number up significantly rather than down. Thus, only option D accurately reflects the mathematical operation performed.
