Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question 1:**
Calculate \(0.65 \div 0.13 =\)
Options:
a) 0.005
b) 0.05
c) 0.5
d) 5
The correct answer is option **d) 5**, as indicated by the circle around it.
**Question 2:**
Chris is 1.3 meters tall. His mother is 1.5 times as tall as Chris. How tall is Chris's mother?
Options:
a) 1.8 m
b) 1.95 m
c) 2.8 m
d) 19.5 m
The calculation shows that 1.3 meters multiplied by 1.5 equals 1.95 meters. However, the person solving calculated 1.3 + 1.5 = 2.8 which is not the correct way to solve the problem. The correct mathematical approach is 1.3 * 1.5, which equals **1.95 m**. The circled incorrect answer here was **c) 2.8 m**, but the right answer given the problem is **b) 1.95 m**.
