1/0.1

Explanation
The given expression is a division of 1 by 0.1. When dividing a number by a decimal, we can convert the decimal into a whole number by moving the decimal point to the right. In this case, moving the decimal point one place to the right in 0.1 gives us 1. Dividing 1 by 1 equals 1, so the answer to the expression 1/0.1 is 10.

8. 82.3) 823

Explanation
The given sequence consists of numbers 8, 82.3, and 823. The pattern followed is that each number is obtained by multiplying the previous number by 10. Therefore, starting with 8, when we multiply it by 10, we get 80. Then, adding 2.3 to 80, we get 82.3. Finally, multiplying 82.3 by 10 gives us 823. Hence, the next numbers in the sequence would be 8230, 82300, and so on, all obtained by multiplying the previous number by 10.

16. 812 / 0.4

Explanation
When dividing 812 by 0.4, the result is 2030. This is because dividing any number by a decimal is the same as multiplying it by the reciprocal of that decimal. In this case, the reciprocal of 0.4 is 2.5. So, 812 multiplied by 2.5 equals 2030. Therefore, the correct answers are 2030, 2030., and 2030.0.
