Answer 1

The problem presented seems to involve a long division scenario where you divide the number 468 by 40.

Breaking it down:

1. When you divide 468 by 40, you determine how many times 40 fits into 468 without exceeding it.

2. The exact quotient obtained from the division can be calculated:

   \( 468 \div 40 = 11.7 \)

   Rounding down gives a quotient of 11, which comes from multiplying \( 40 \times 11 = 440 \).

3. Subtracting this from 468 gives you a remainder of:

   \( 468 - 440 = 28 \)

4. If you need to find how many times 40 goes into 468 approximately, it confirms that the quotient is approximately 11.7.

Therefore, based on your options:

• 58 is too high for the division of 468 by 40.
• 58.5 is also not correct.
• 58 with a bar (which denotes a repeating decimal) doesn't apply.
• 59 is incorrect as well.

The actual quotient is approximately 11.7.
