Question

Noah said, “When you divide a number by a second number, the result will always be smaller than the first number.”

Jada said, “I think the result could be larger or smaller, depending on the numbers.”

1. Do you agree with Noah or Jada? Select the correct choice.

Answer 1

I agree with Jada because if the first number is a fraction divided by a whole number, the answer would be greater than the first number and it would still count as a division equation Explanation:

Answer 2

Obviously, Jada is correct.

For example, 1 / 0.5 = 2.

When the second number is smaller than the first number, the result will be larger than the first number.
