Let's analyze Dia's modeling of 2.82 / 3, where she regrouped the numbers.
**Understanding the Values:**
- 2.82 can be understood as 2 (which is 20 tenths) and 0.8 (which is 8 tenths, or 80 hundredths).
- Therefore, we can represent 2.82 as 28 tenths and 2 hundredths.
**Dividing by 3:**
1. Divide 28 tenths by 3:
- \( \frac{28}{3} = 9 \) (with a remainder of 1, which can be converted to tenths, making it 10 tenths).
- 9 tenths is 0.9.
2. Divide 2 hundredths by 3:
- \( \frac{2}{3} = 0.04 \) (approximately).
Combining these results, we have:
- The division of 28 tenths gives 0.9.
- The division of 2 hundredths gives approximately 0.04.
So, adding these:
\[ 0.9 + 0.04 = 0.94 \]
**Evaluating the Options:**
- **A:** Incorrect, because it doesn't provide a correct calculation that matches Dia's answer.
- **B:** Incorrect, follows different groupings and incorrect math operations.
- **C:** Correct in the method for 27 tenths and 12 hundredths, arriving at the same number.
- **D:** This appears close in deriving 0.9 from the tenths, but states 28 tenths instead of the total divided 28 tenths which is indeed accurate in relation.
Both C and D provide some correct calculations based on Dia's approach. However, D is slightly misleading due to the consistent proper grouping used in the division process.
The selection recognizes that Dia's conclusion of the quotient being 0.94 ultimately validates her overall calculation formulation. Hence, the conclusion that closely relates is:
**C**, as it aligns properly with the calculation breakdown provided through Dia's method.
