A Correct answer
Explanation

A = 35 / 0.07 = 500. B = 2.5 / 0.0005 = 5000. C = 136.09 / 43.9 = 3.1. Descending order is 5000 > 500 > 3.1, which is B > A > C.

AI explanation

Evaluate each expression by shifting decimal points, which gives A as 3500, B as 5000, and C as approximately 3.1. Comparing these simplified values shows that 5000 is the largest, followed by 3500, and then 3.1. Therefore, the correct descending order is B > A > C.
