What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) (Note : you are not expected to calculate the exact value.)
`49.003 div 74.999 = ?`

Options

A. 0.05
B. 0.2
C. 1
D. 0.7

Answer

To find the approximate value of \( 49.003 \div 74.999 \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Round the numbers to their nearest whole numbers.
- The number \( 49.003 \) is approximately \( 49 \).
- The number \( 74.999 \) is approximately \( 75 \).

### Step 2: Set up the division with the rounded numbers.
Now we can rewrite the division:
\[ 49.003 \div 74.999 \approx 49 \div 75 \]

### Step 3: Perform the division.
To simplify \( 49 \div 75 \), we can think of it in terms of fractions:
\[ \frac{49}{75} \]

### Step 4: Convert the fraction to a decimal.
To get a rough estimate, we can perform the division:
- \( 49 \div 75 \) can be estimated as \( 0.65 \) (since \( 75 \) is slightly less than \( 80 \), and \( 49 \) is slightly less than \( 50 \)).

### Step 5: Round the decimal to one decimal place.
The approximate value \( 0.65 \) can be rounded to \( 0.7 \).

### Final Answer:
Thus, the approximate value that should come in place of the question mark (?) is:
\[ \boxed{0.7} \]
