Question 33

The result of multiplying 375 by 2.3 is 862.5.

Multiplying 375 by 2.3 yields 862.5, which can be verified through direct calculation.

A) 862.5

This option is correct as it accurately represents the product of 375 and 2.3. The calculation can be performed as follows: 375 multiplied by 2.3 equals 862.5, confirming that this is the correct result.

B) 750

This option is incorrect because multiplying 375 by 2.3 does not equal 750. Instead, 375 multiplied by 2 equals 750, but multiplying by 2.3 results in a larger value, specifically 862.5.

C) 225.75

This option is also incorrect as it significantly underestimates the product of 375 and 2.3. The calculation of 375 multiplied by 0.6 (which could yield 225) is unrelated to the multiplication by 2.3.

D) 1125

This option is incorrect because it overestimates the result of the multiplication. The number 1125 is the result of multiplying 375 by 3, not by 2.3, making this choice irrelevant.

Conclusion

The correct answer, 862.5, accurately reflects the multiplication of 375 by 2.3. All other options fail to represent the correct product, either by underestimating or overestimating the result of the calculation, thus reinforcing that A is the definitive answer.
