What is obtained by dividing 37.5 by 1000?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 0.0375

The governing concept is decimal place value under division by a power of ten. Because 1000=10³, dividing by 1000 moves the decimal point three places to the left. Starting from 37.5, the first shift gives 3.75, the second gives 0.375, and the third gives 0.0375. Hence 37.5÷1000=0.0375, so option A is correct. Option B represents division by 100, involving only two leftward shifts. Option C represents division by 10, involving one shift. Option D moves the decimal point in the opposite direction and is larger than the original positive number; division by 1000 cannot produce such a result. The calculation can also be checked as 37.5/1000=375/10000=0.0375.
