Question

Which sentence about the division of two fractions is true? A. If the dividend is greater than the divisor, the quotient will be greater than 1. B.If the dividend is less than the divisor, the quotient will be greater than 1 C. If the dividend is equal to the divisor, the quotient will be less than 1 D. If the dividend is greater than the divisor, the quotient will be less than 1.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. If the dividend is greater than the divisor, the quotient will be greater than 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Checking all options

A. If the dividend is greater than the divisor, the quotient will be greater than 1.

That is,

4 ÷ 3 = 1.33

Where,

4 is the dividend

3 is the divisor

1.33 is the quotient

THIS IS TRUE

B.If the dividend is less than the divisor, the quotient will be greater than 1

That is,

3 ÷ 4 = 0.75

Where,

3 is the dividend

4 is the divisor

0.75 is the quotient

NOT TRUE

C. If the dividend is equal to the divisor, the quotient will be less than 1

That is,

3 ÷ 3 = 1

Where,

3 is the dividend

3 is the divisor

1 is the quotient

NOT TRUE

D. If the dividend is greater than the divisor, the quotient will be less than 1.

That is,

4 ÷ 3 = 1.33

Where,

4 is the dividend

3 is the divisor

1.33 is the quotient

NOT TRUE

Therefore, option A is TRUE
