Answer:

  • A: 700
  • B: he put the decimal point in the wrong place

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: The problem 49/0.07 can be rewritten as 4900/7 by multiplying numerator and denominator by 100. Then it is more clear that the correct answer is (49/7)×100 = 700.

___

Part B: I've always had trouble reading Marco's mind, so I cannot tell you what mistake he made. I can tell you the decimal point in his result is in the wrong place.
