To divide decimals, we divide as we normally would with whole numbers, but we add decimal points to the dividend (the number being divided) and the quotient (the answer) to keep track of the decimal places.

We begin by placing the repeating decimal over a bar. This indicates the repeating portion of the number.

0.314|33293...

To start dividing, we ignore the decimal point in the dividend and divide as we would with whole numbers:

314 ÷ 33293 = 0.0094 (rounded)

Next, we add the decimal point back into the quotient to match the dividend:

0.0094.

Therefore, the answer is 13.98 (rounded to the nearest hundredth).

The best choice is therefore C.
