Question
**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**.
