To divide decimal numbers, we can convert them into fractions or adjust the decimal places to make the divisor a whole number. This simplifies the division process.
The given expression is \(0.1404 \div 0.06\). This can be written as:
\[ \frac{0.1404}{0.06} \]To remove the decimal from the denominator (0.06), we need to multiply it by 100 (since there are two decimal places). To keep the fraction equivalent, we must also multiply the numerator by 100.
\[ \frac{0.1404 \times 100}{0.06 \times 100} = \frac{14.04}{6} \]Now, divide 14.04 by 6.
So, \(14.04 \div 6 = 2.34\).
Correct Option: B) 2.34
Rotational symmetry refers to the number of times a figure looks exactly the same when rotated about its center through an angle less than 360 degrees. The order of rotational symmetry is the count of these positions. For a regular polygon, the order of rotational symmetry is equal to the number of sides it has.
C) 4 — A square has four sides, and it can be rotated by \(90^\circ\), \(180^\circ\), \(270^\circ\), and \(360^\circ\) to perfectly align with its original position. Thus, its order of rotational symmetry is 4.

A greenhouse gas is a gaseous mixture capable of absorbing _____.
Equally visible and infrared
More visible radiation than infrared
More infrared radiation than visible
Neither visible nor infrared radiation
The question asks about the primary characteristic of greenhouse gases regarding their absorption of electromagnetic radiation. Understanding the role of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere is key to answering this.
Correct Option: C) More infrared radiation than visible. This option accurately describes the primary characteristic of greenhouse gases. They allow most visible light to pass through but absorb and re-emit the infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface, leading to the greenhouse effect.
