To find the value that belongs in the box, we can solve the equation:
\[ 104 \times \Box = 153,000 \]
To find \(\Box\), we divide both sides of the equation by 104:
\[ \Box = \frac{153,000}{104} \]
Now, let's calculate \(153,000 \div 104\):
\[ 153,000 \div 104 \approx 1,471.153846153846 \]
Now we will assess the options provided:
A. 1.53 (too small)
B. 15.3 (too small)
C. 153 (still too small)
D. 1,530 (this one is reasonable)
Now, let's check option D:
\[ 104 \times 1,530 = 159,120 \]
Next, we check with the correct calculation:
\[ \Box = \frac{153,000}{104} \approx 1,471.15 \]
None of the options seem to match this calculated value. Could you please confirm if there are any additional details or corrections to provide context to the question? Based on calculation, about 1,471 is the closest approximation we can find from 153,000 divided by 104 and none of the options will be valid.
