What is the quotient? Negative StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction divided by negative one-fourth

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 2 fractions.

1st fraction is Negative StartFraction 3 over 8

i.e.

$-\dfrac{3}{8}$

2nd fraction is negative one-fourth

i.e.

$-\dfrac{1}{4}$

We have to find the quotient when 1st fraction is divided by 2nd fraction.

Definition of quotient is given as:

Quotient is the result obtained when one number is divided by other number.

$-\dfrac{3}{8} \div -\dfrac{1}{4} \text{ is to be calculated.}$

$\div$ is converted to $\times$ and the 2nd fraction is reversed i.e.

if the fraction is $\frac{p}{q}$ it becomes $\frac{q}{p}$ and the sign $\div$ is changed to $\times$ .

Solving above:

$-\dfrac{3}{8} \times -\dfrac{4}{1}\\ \text {Multiplication/Division of 2 negative number gives a positive number}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}$

So, the quotient is $\frac{3}{2}$ .

The production manager is going to present this information to the company's board of directors. Which graph should the manager

viktelen [127]

To best emphasize the number of defects. Manager should use graph 3 (refer the image shown):

If we talk about graph 1, it can also be used but usually we put the time line on the horizontal axis, for the convenience and the quantity to be measured on the y-axis. In the graph 1, the time is placed on the vertical axis (x-axis) so it would not be a good pick for the manager.

Same is the case with graph 2 again we have time on the vertical axis. So it is not a good idea to with graph 2.

Graph 3 could be the best to emphasize the number of defects because first of all time is placed on the horizontal axis and the quantity to be shown is on the vertical axis. Secondly, the range of the vertical axis is less so it is easy to observe the data set on the graph quite distinctively. Therefore, graph 3 is the best pick.

Graph 4 is placed correctly in terms of vertical and horizontal axes but the range of vertical axis is quite high due to which the dispersion or the display of the data is quite compressed and it gets hard to visualize.
