Question 5

The value of 1085 / 12 is 90.5.

Dividing 1085 by 12 results in a quotient of 90.5, indicating that 12 fits into 1085 a total of 90 times with a remainder that contributes to the decimal portion.

A) 90

Option A is incorrect because while 90 is close to the true value, it does not account for the remainder when dividing 1085 by 12. The actual division yields a decimal value that is greater than 90.

B) 90{5/1085}

Option B is also incorrect. Although it presents a fractional component, the fraction 5/1085 is not relevant to the division of 1085 by 12. The correct representation of the remainder should relate to the divisor, not the original number.

C) 90{5/12}

Option C is incorrect. While it correctly indicates that there is a remainder, the fraction 5/12 does not accurately represent the remainder from the division of 1085 by 12. The correct remainder leads to a decimal, not a fractional representation of 5/12.

D) 90.5

Option D is correct as it accurately represents the result of dividing 1085 by 12. The operation yields a quotient of 90.5, providing both the whole number and the decimal portion.

Conclusion

The correct answer is definitively 90.5, as it accurately reflects the division of 1085 by 12. All other options fail to correctly represent the result of the calculation, either by providing an incorrect whole number or by misrepresenting the remainder. Thus, D stands out as the validated answer.
