Directions (36 -40):What approximate value should come in the place of question (?) mark.

120.03 ÷ $\frac{5}{8}$ of 24.08 × 3.95 = ?

The correct option is 32.

To solve this approximation problem, we first round off the given numbers to their nearest integers to simplify the calculation:

• 120.03 ≈ 120
• 24.08 ≈ 24
• 3.95 ≈ 4

Now, substitute these rounded values back into the expression:

$120\÷\left(\frac{5}{8}\×24\right)\×4$

According to the BODMAS rule, we perform the operation within the "of" section first:

$\frac{5}{8}\×24=5\×3=15$

Next, perform the division:

$120\÷15=8$

Finally, multiply the result by 4:

$8\×4=32$

Thus, the approximate value that comes in place of the question mark is 32.
