Question

1-5 above involves dividing a whole number by a fraction less than 1

What happens to the quotients compared to the dividends? Explain your answer

Answer 1

The quotient will have a larger value than the dividend.

Explanation:

Example:

15 ÷
`(1)/(2)`

`(5)/((1)/(2) )`

`((15)/(1) )/((1)/(2) )` x
`((2)/(1) )/((2)/(1) )` =
`((30)/(1) )/(1)` = 30

Our quotient of 30 has a larger value than the dividend of 15.
