B Correct answer
Explanation

The expression is (5.6/100 * 240) / (0.3/100 * 480). This simplifies to (5.6 * 240) / (0.3 * 480) = 1344 / 144 = 9.333.

AI explanation

Translate the percentages into fractions to get (5.6 / 100) x 240 divided by (0.3 / 100) x 480. The 100 denominators cancel out, leaving (5.6 x 240) / (0.3 x 480), which simplifies to 1344 / 144. Dividing 1344 by 144 results in a value of 9.33.
