50.50 ÷ 0.25

Rationale

A) 202 is the correct answer.

Dividing 50.50 by 0.25 will give us 202. This is because when you divide a number by a fraction (or a decimal less than 1), you're essentially finding out how many × that fraction fits into the number, which makes the result larger than the original number.

A (202) CORRECT

This is the correct answer. When you divide 50.50 by 0.25, you get 202. This is because 0.25 fits into 50.50 exactly 202 ×.

B (2.2) YOUR ANSWER

This is not correct. This would have been the answer if we were multiplying 50.50 by 0.25, not dividing.

C (2.02) YOUR ANSWER

This is not correct. You would get a number close to 2.02 if you were dividing 50.50 by a number close to 25, not 0.25.

D (0.22) YOUR ANSWER

This is not correct. You would get a number close to 0.22 if you were dividing 50.50 by a number close to 230, not 0.25.

Conclusion

When dividing by a decimal less than 1, the result is larger than the original number. Hence, the correct answer to the division problem 50.50 ÷ 0.25 is 202. The other options represent potential results if we were multiplying 50.50 by 0.25, or dividing 50.50 by a much larger number.
