The greatest possible quotient of two distinct members of the set is 25.
<h3>What is the Quotient?</h3>
A quotient is defined as the outcome of dividing an integer by any divisor that can be said to be a quotient. The dividend contains the divisor a specific number of times.
We are given the set of numbers as :
2/5, 1/2, 5, 10
We must choose p as the biggest number from the set and q as the smallest number from the set in order to the greatest possible quotient .
Comparing the fractions we determine :
⇒ 2/5 = 0.4,
⇒ 1/2 = 0.5
So, the smallest number is 2/5
Select p = 10, q = 2/5
To determine the quotient.
So, p/q = 10/(2/5)
⇒ p/q = 10×5/2
⇒ p/q = 50/2
⇒ p/q = 25
Hence, the greatest possible quotient is 25 in the set.
