To start think about
a/b=34.06 as given OR fixed data. Then, we have many possibilities to express this as a fraction, namely,
3406/1000 OR
1703/50 OR
(1703∗3)/(50∗3). In general, we are interested only in one out of two options for the remainder with the given fraction, and this is when we multiply both numerator and denominator by the even number. Hence, out of two options of coefficients (multipliers) of both numerator and denominator, there can be odd and even multipliers possible for the resultant number
34.06. P(remainder=6) is
1/2, because only the even option out two options (odd and even) results in the remainder of 6. Answer is

If a and b are both integers ab=34.06 and what is the probability that the remainder of ab is a multiple of 6?
a. 0.3
b. 0.45
c. 0.5
d. 1
e. 0.66
