What approximate value will come in place of question mark (?) in the given question? (You are not expected to calculate the exact value.)
`45.04÷4.97=?÷12.99`

Options

A. 104
B. 91
C. 120
D. 117

Answer

To solve the equation \( 45.04 \div 4.97 = ? \div 12.99 \) and find the approximate value of the question mark (?), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Approximate the values
We start by approximating the numbers involved in the equation:
- \( 45.04 \) can be approximated to \( 45 \).
- \( 4.97 \) can be approximated to \( 5 \).
- \( 12.99 \) can be approximated to \( 13 \).

### Step 2: Rewrite the equation with approximations
Now, we can rewrite the equation using these approximations:
\[ \frac{45}{5} = \frac{?}{13} \]

### Step 3: Simplify the left side
Next, we simplify the left side of the equation:
\[ \frac{45}{5} = 9 \]
So, we have:
\[ 9 = \frac{?}{13} \]

### Step 4: Solve for the question mark (?)
To find the value of the question mark, we can cross-multiply:
\[ ? = 9 \times 13 \]

### Step 5: Calculate the product
Now we calculate \( 9 \times 13 \):
\[ 9 \times 13 = 117 \]

### Conclusion
Thus, the approximate value of the question mark (?) is \( 117 \).
