Bunuel please provide official explanation for this.

thirty-five hundredths =.035?
four thousandths=.004?


Yes, we definitely want to be clear on what hundredths and thousandths are!

One hundredth = 1/100 = 0.01
One thousandth = 1/1000 = 0.001

So, we could do this either with fractions or decimals. With fractions:

Thirty-five hundredths = 35/100
Four thousandths = 4/1000

This is what hmasand did above, calculating \(\frac{35}{100}\) / \(\frac{4}{1000}\) = \(\frac{35*1000}{4*100}\) = \(\frac{350}{4}\) = 87.5

With decimals:

Thirty-five hundredths = 0.35
Four thousandths = 0.004

We would then be calculating \(\frac{0.35}{0.004}\), which we can multiply by \(\frac{1000}{1000}\) to get rid of the decimals, giving us \(\frac{350}{4}\) = 87.5 again.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

I believe the solution is as follows.

35/100 / 4/1000 (35/100 and 4/1000)

35 * 1000 / 4 * 100

350 / 4

87.5 (got the clue from tenTHS-after decimal not teNS-before decimal)

E is the answer.

What is the tenths digit of the quotient when thirty-five hundredths [#permalink] New post  Updated on: 09 Dec 2018, 02:33
I assumed that this means decimal calculation: 35/100/4/1000 -> 35/100*1000/4 -> 87,5. As you can see, my result would be 0, which is incorrect. Any ideas? Did I wrongly assume that its decimal, albeit it actually says 3500/4000=0,875 (which seems to be incorrect).

Best, gota900

Sure! You are correct that the hundredths position is the second position after the decimal, so one hundredth is 0.01. However, if we have 35 hundredths, this means that we need to multiply 0.01 by 35:

35*0.01 = 0.35.

In this case, the 3 ends up in the tenths position, instead of the hundredths position. If it were just 9 hundredths, for example, it would be:

9*0.01 = 0.09

However, if we are talking about more than 9 hundredths, the first digit won't be in the hundredths place.

Please let me know if you have more questions!

That is really appreciable.Thanks a lot Sir :)

Bunuel EducationAisle
How do we know that quotient includes the remainder? While the definition of quotient is "the result obtained by dividing quantity by another", we do use the formula: Dividend = Quotient * Divisor + Remainder.

If we use that formula, then tenths digit would always be 0, leading to answer equal to A. But if we include the remainder in the quotient, then we get E. I believe we can infer from "tenths digit of the quotient" that the remainder is included in the quotient or else this Q would be meaningless since tenth digit would always be 0?

Solution:

Translating the problem, we have:

(35/100) / (4/1000)

35/100 x 1000/4

35 x 10/4 = 35 x 2.5 = 87.5

So the tenths digit is 5.

Answer: E

thirty-five hundredths = 35/100
four thousandths = 4/1000

(35/100) / (4/1000)
= (35/100) * (1000/4)
= 35/1 * 10/4
= 350/4
= 87.5

Tenths digit is 5. Answer is E.

0,35/0,004

0,004 will go 250 times in 1.

0,35*250 = 3,5*25 = 87,5
