Question

PLEASE HURRY! When two fractions less than 1 are divided, is their quotient always, sometimes or never greater than 1? Explain.

Answer 1

Sometimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example 1/2 / 1/4 = 2

but 1/4 / 1/2 = 1/2.

Answer 2

Answer: Sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient greater than 1:

3/4 divide by 2/3
= 3/4 x 3/2 = 9/8 > 1

4/5 divide by 2/5
= 4/5 x 5/2 = 2 > 1

Quotient less than 1

1/100 divide by 2/10
= 1/100 x 10/2 = 1/20 < 1

1/50 divide by 1/25
= 1/50 x 25/1 = 1/2 < 1
