What is the result of dividing 0.6 by 0.12?

  • A. 5
  • B. 4
  • C. 6
  • D. 3
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To divide 0.6 by 0.12, you can perform the operation as follows: 0.6 · 0.12 = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 5, as the result of dividing these two numbers. When dividing decimals, you can move the decimal point to the right on both numbers until the divisor is a whole number, then divide as you would with whole numbers. In this case, you can multiply both 0.6 and 0.12 by 10 to make the divisor a whole number, resulting in 6 · 1 = 5.
