Answer:
d. none of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
When you divide 7 by 4, you will get a quotient as 1 and remainder as 3
2. As 3<4
Add 0 after remainder i.e. 3 so that it becomes 30 and add decimal point after quotient i.e. 1
3. Now, when you divide 30 by 4, the quotient will be 7 and remainder will be 2
So, you will get 1.7
4. Again as 2<3, add 0 after 2 so that you get 20.
Note that, we can add decimal point only once.
5. Now divide 20 by 4, the quotient will be 5 and remainder 0
As the remainder is 0
So, we have
4
7
=1.75
