4.036 divided by 0.04 gives:

This question tests your ability to divide decimal numbers. The key to dividing by a decimal is to transform the divisor into a whole number, which simplifies the division process. Whatever change is made to the divisor must also be applied to the dividend.

• The problem is 4.036 divided by 0.04.
• To make the divisor (0.04) a whole number, move the decimal point two places to the right, making it 4.
• You must also move the decimal point in the dividend (4.036) two places to the right, making it 403.6.
• Now, the division becomes 403.6 ÷ 4.
• Performing this division: 403.6 / 4 = 100.9.

Option B (1.009) and C (10.09) are incorrect because they reflect errors in correctly shifting the decimal point or performing the division. For example, dividing 4.036 by 4 directly without adjusting for the 0.04 divisor would yield a different, incorrect result. Option D is incorrect because A is the correct answer.
