What is the value of x in x/0.2 = - 11.3

A) - 11.5, because to isolate x, you would subtract 0.2 from - 11.3

B) - 2.26, because to isolate x, you would multiply - 11.3 by 0.2

C) - 56.5, because to isolate x, you would divide - 11.3 by 0.2

D) - 11.1, because to isolate x, you would add 0.2 to - 11.3
