Options

A. 0.060851
B. 2.060851
C. 0.939085
D. 1.9339085

Answer

To solve the problem, we need to find out what should be subtracted from the product of 0.527 and 2.013 to get 1. Let's go through the steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the product of 0.527 and 2.013
We start by multiplying the two decimal numbers:

\[ 0.527 \times 2.013 \]

### Step 2: Perform the multiplication
Using a calculator or performing the multiplication manually, we find:

\[ 0.527 \times 2.013 = 1.061851 \]

### Step 3: Set up the equation
Now, we need to find out what should be subtracted from this product to get 1. We can set up the equation as follows:

\[ 1.061851 - x = 1 \]

Where \( x \) is the number we need to find.

### Step 4: Solve for \( x \)
To find \( x \), we can rearrange the equation:

\[ x = 1.061851 - 1 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ x = 0.061851 \]

### Step 5: Conclusion
Thus, the number that should be subtracted from the product of 0.527 and 2.013 to get 1 is:

\[ \boxed{0.060851} \]
