volume_mute

Select all problems where the trailing-zeros shortcut can be applied (i.e., the divisor has at least one ending zero).

Correct Answer

(1) \(9{,}800 \div 350\)
(2) \(47{,}000 \div 100\)

Explanation

The shortcut applies when the divisor ends in zeros. 350 ends in one zero ✓ and 100 ends in two zeros ✓. The divisors 23 and 6 have no trailing zeros, so the shortcut cannot be applied to those problems.
