Answer 1

To solve the expression \( 9.3 \div 0.12 \):

First, we can eliminate the decimal points by multiplying both the dividend (9.3) and the divisor (0.12) by 100:

\[ 9.3 \times 100 = 930 \] \[ 0.12 \times 100 = 12 \]

Now we can rewrite the expression:

\[ 930 \div 12 \]

Now, we perform the division:

\[ 930 \div 12 = 77.5 \]

Thus, the expression \( 9.3 \div 0.12 \) is equivalent to 77.5.
