Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Compute each quotient:
368.39 ÷ 17 = 21.67 (check: 17 × 21.67 = 368.39)
875.65 ÷ 83 = 10.55 (check: 83 × 10.55 = 875.65)
170.50 ÷ 62 = 2.75 (check: 62 × 2.75 = 170.50)
Arrange these results in decreasing order:
21.67 > 10.55 > 2.75
Tip: You can compare quickly by their integer parts (21, 10, 2) to determine the order, then confirm with the exact decimal values.
