Question

Alisa claims that if you have a two-digit divisor and a three-digit dividend, the quotient will always have two digits. Is she correct?

Options:

a) Yes, always

b) No, not always

c) Depends on the numbers

d) Impossible to determine

Answer 1

No, Alisa is not correct. The quotient may not always have two digits.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, Alisa is not correct. The quotient may not always have two digits. Let's consider an example: if we divide a three-digit dividend, let's say 987, by a two-digit divisor, let's say 76, the quotient in this case would be 13.0013157894, which has more than two digits. So, it is possible for the quotient to have more than two digits when dividing a three-digit dividend by a two-digit divisor.
