1.  
a) The student’s method is correct. By multiplying both the dividend and the divisor by the same nonzero factor, the quotient remains unchanged. In this case, multiplying by 10 converts  
$$
109.2 \div 6 \quad\text{to}\quad \frac{109.2 \times 10}{6 \times 10} = \frac{1092}{60}.
$$

b) To calculate  
$$
109.2 \div 6,
$$  
we can use the equivalent expression  
$$
\frac{1092}{60}.
$$  
Dividing $$1092$$ by $$60$$ gives  
$$
1092 \div 60 = 18.2.
$$

2.  
a) One way to write equivalent division expressions for  
$$
61.12 \div 3.2
$$  
is to multiply both the dividend and the divisor by the same number to eliminate decimals. For example, multiplying by 10 gives  
$$
611.2 \div 32,
$$  
and multiplying by 100 gives  
$$
6112 \div 320.
$$

b) To compute  
$$
61.12 \div 3.2,
$$  
we can use either equivalent expression. Using the version with the decimals removed by multiplying by 10:  
$$
61.12 \div 3.2 = 611.2 \div 32.
$$  
Now, performing the division, we see that  
$$
32 \times 19.1 = 611.2,
$$  
so  
$$
61.12 \div 3.2 = 19.1.
$$

3.  
We are given that a bag of pennies weighs $$5.1$$ kilograms and each penny weighs $$2.5$$ grams. First, convert the weight of the bag to grams:  
$$
5.1\,\text{kg} = 5100\,\text{g}.
$$  
The number of pennies in the bag is  
$$
\text{Number of pennies} = \frac{5100\,\text{g}}{2.5\,\text{g per penny}} = 2040.
$$  
Since 2040 is closest to 2000 among the answer choices, the correct answer is Option C (2,000).
1. a) Yes, the student is correct. Multiplying both numbers by 10 turns $$109.2 \div 6$$ into $$1092 \div 60$$, which simplifies the division. b) $$ 109.2 \div 6 = 18.2 $$ 2. a) $$ 61.12 \div 3.2 = 611.2 \div 32 \quad \text{and} \quad 6112 \div 320 $$ b) $$ 61.12 \div 3.2 = 19.1 $$ 3. There are approximately 2,000 pennies in the bag.
