To find \( 113 \div 23 \):
-
Perform the division: \[ 113 \div 23 \approx 4.913 \]
-
To express \( 113 \div 23 \) as a mixed number, first find how many times 23 fits into 113: \[ 23 \times 4 = 92 \] The remainder is: \[ 113 - 92 = 21 \] Therefore, we can express \( 113 \div 23 \) as: \[ 4 \frac{21}{23} \]
None of the response options match this directly, but we can confirm that \( 4 \frac{21}{23} \) is approximately \( 4.913 \).
If we convert the decimal 4.913 to a fraction: \[ 4 \frac{21}{23} \approx 4.913 \text{ (not among the provided options)} \]
Looking at the provided options:
- 136
- 13 sixths (which equals \( \frac{13}{6} \approx 2.167\))
- 229
- 22 ninths (which equals \( \frac{22}{9} \approx 2.444\))
- 112
- 11 halves (which equals \( 5.5\))
- 335
None of these mathematically equal \( 113 \div 23 \approx 4.913 \).
The closest estimates yield none of the correct answers.
However, since we're meant to select from provided options, without additional clarification or adjustment to the interpretation, the calculation doesn't directly lead to a precise match from your given selections.
If an approximation was intended, you have none that equal to approximately \(5\). The choices are indeed not appropriate.
Please double-check the response options.
