Question

Consider the steps for determining the quotient of 12/x-4 / 4/x-4

Answer 1

Answer:

Quotient = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the given expression :

$\dfrac{\dfrac{12}{x-4}}{\dfrac{4}{x-4}}$

It can be done as follows :

As, $\dfrac{\dfrac{a}{b}}{\dfrac{c}{d}}=\dfrac{a}{b}\times \dfrac{d}{c}$

So,

$\dfrac{\dfrac{12}{x-4}}{\dfrac{4}{x-4}}=\dfrac{12}{x-4}\times \dfrac{x-4}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{12}{4}\\\\=3$

Hence, the required quotient is 3.
