Steve entered a number in his calculator and erroneously divided the number by 14,236 instead of 14.236. Which of the following is a single operation that Steve could perform on his calculator to correct the error?
I. Multiply the incorrect quotient by 1000
II. Multiply the incorrect quotient by 0.001
III. Divide the incorrect quotient by 0.001
A. I only
B. III only
C. I and II only
D. I and III only
E. I, II andIII
Let the number Steve intended to divide = x
Intended Operation =\(\frac{ x }{14.236}\)
Actual Operation =\(\frac{ x }{14,236}\)
Therefore Steve got a result that is 1000 times smaller than the actual result.
To correct the error, Steve can multiply the obtained result by 1000 or divide the result by\(\frac{1}{1000}\)
OptionD
