The quotient is 212.96.
Solution:
Given expression is [tex]\frac{212,960}{1000}[/tex].
Divide the given expression to find the quotient.
Decimal rule when numerator is divided by 10, 100, 1000, 10000 etc..
- If you have one zero in the divisor (10), then the decimal point will move 1 place to the left of the last digit.
- If you have two zeros in the divisor (100), then the decimal point will move 2 place to the left of the last digit.
- If you have three zeros in the divisor (1000), then the decimal point will move 3 place to the left of the last digit.
[tex]$212960\div1000=\frac{212960}{1000}[/tex]
Here, we have 3 zeros in the denominator.
So, the decimal point is move 3 digit to the left of the last digit.
[tex]$212960\div1000=212.96[/tex]
So, option C is the right answer.
Hence the quotient is 212.96.
