Question

Nathan was asked to determine the quotient of 10 and 1/7. He claims that the quotient is 70. Which expression below could Nathan simplify to explain how he know his answer is right
A) 70 +1/7
B)10 +70
C)10 x 1/7
D) 70 x 1/7

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient is the result of dividing one number by another.

$\frac{10}{\frac{1}{7} } = ?$

is how you would represent the quotient of 10 and 1/7.

The opposite of division is multiplication, and those we can rearrange that and get:

$? * \frac{1}{7} = 10, or, ?/7 = 10$

or in other words, "what number divided by 7 is 10"

The answer becomes clearer, 70 is that number.

D represents this idea.
