To solve the problem of 9 divided by 380, we should express it as a division problem and calculate:

9 ÷ 380

When we divide 9 by 380, the result is a fraction less than 1 because 9 is smaller than 380. Thus, none of the options (A, B, C, or D) correctly represent the answer because they all enumerate larger dividends or have non-zero remainders implying that the dividend is much larger than the divisor.

So, let's handle the division step-by-step:

1. 9 divided by 380 is approximately 0.02368.

None of the given options (A, B, C, or D) are valid answers for this division because each presents a scenario where the dividend would be larger than 380.

Thus, the correct approach affirms that this problem requires a decimal result rather than the options provided.
however, 380 divided by 9 is A: 42 R 2
Let's solve 380 divided by 9 step-by-step to see if it equals 42 with a remainder of 2.

1. Divide 380 by 9.
2. 380 ÷ 9 = 42.2222...

Since the division does not result in a whole number, we know there will be a remainder. Let's find it:

3. Multiply 42 by 9 to find out how much of 380 it covers: 42 × 9 = 378.
4. Subtract 378 from 380 to find the remainder: 380 - 378 = 2.

So, 380 divided by 9 equals 42 with a remainder of 2.

Thus, the correct answer is A: 42 R2.
