  2. 402.74

  3. 415.27

  4. 418.2

The correct answer is: 419.4

To determine the value when 25.164 is divided by 0.06, it is important to perform the division accurately. When you divide 25.164 by 0.06, you can simplify the division by removing the decimal from the divisor (0.06) and transforming the calculation into a more manageable form. First, multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 100 gives: - 25.164 becomes 2516.4 - 0.06 becomes 6 Now, the division looks like this: 2516.4 ÷ 6. When you perform this calculation, you find that: 2516.4 ÷ 6 equals approximately 419.4. This calculation confirms that 419.4 is indeed the correct result after the division is performed.
