Question

Use the model to help find the quotient of 8 10 ÷ 2 5 ?  A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 2

Explanation:

Quotient is the result gotten when a number is divided by another number. So the question should be in the form:  8/10 ÷ 2/5

8/10 ÷ 2/5

to get the quotient, when a fraction is divided by another fraction, the second fraction is inverted so that the numerator become the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator. Like 2/5 becomes 5/2. After that, the division sign(÷) is changed to multiplication.

So now we have

8/10*5/2. The first fraction's numerator will multiply the second fraction's numerator and the first fraction's denominator will multiply the second fraction's denominator.

8/10*5/2=40/20=2

The quotient is now 2.

Answer 2

Answer:  B) 2

Explanation:

Hi, the correct form of the numbers is: 8/10 ÷ 2/5.

So, to answer this question we simply have to divide the fractional numbers:

8/10 ÷ 2/5 = (8 x5) / (10 x 2) = 40/20 = 2

The quotient is 2.  

In conclusion, the correct option is B) 2.
