If 2994 ÷ 14.5 = 172, then 29.94 ÷ 1.45 = ?

[A]. 0.172[B]. 1.72
[C]. 17.2[D]. 172

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

29.94 = 299.4
1.45 14.5

= 2994 x 1 [ Here, Substitute 172 in the place of 2994/14.5 ]
14.5 10

= 172
10

= 17.2

If 2994/14.5 = 172 then 29.94/1.45 = ?

We can write 29.94/1.45 as 2994/145 (by mul with 10 both numerator and denominator).

Then, 2994/145 can be written as 2994/(14.5 x 10) or (2994/14.5)x(1/10)------(A)

Given that 2994/14.5 = 172.

So replace 2994/14.5 with 172 in (A)

172 x (1/10) = 17.2

Hope this will help you. Have a nice day.!

Hey this sum is very simple. I will explain you .first 29.94/1.45 is multiplied and divide with 10 then you will get 299.4/14.5 .then again multiply and divide 299.4/14.5 with 10 then very important you are going to multiply only the numerator with 10 because then only you wil get (2994/14.5*1/10).then substitute d value of 2994/14.5=172.

The next step is 172/10 then the ans is 17.2, I hope that you can understand
