1 answer

To solve the equation \( 143.2r = 41 \) for the variable \( r \), follow these steps:

  1. Divide both sides by \( 143.2 \): \[ r = \frac{41}{143.2} \]

  2. Calculate the value of \( r \): \[ r \approx 0.286 \]

  3. None of the given responses match \( 0.286 \), so let's ensure all calculations are precise.

Using a calculator: \[ r \approx 0.2865 \]

It seems the previous options given may not include the correct answer. Let's verify if any approximation was close to \( 0.2865 \).

Among the responses provided:

  • \( r \approx 0.1067 \)
  • \( r \approx 0.9152 \)
  • \( r \approx 1.093 \)

None of these match since they are too far from \( 0.2865 \). If reevaluating we find:

  1. Revisiting division:
    • \( 41/143.2 \approx 0.2865 \)

If options refer to approximations they may not list the correct option.

Thus, none of the prescribed responses are valid so can conclude \( \approx 0.286 \).
