Answer:

Its magnitude will be larger than 0.004.

Explanation:

When a divisor is less than 1, the quotient will be greater than the dividend.

When the divisor is "almost zero", the quotient will be much greater than the dividend. Here, the dividend may be considered to be "almost zero", so we cannot say anything about the actual quotient except to say its magnitude will be greater than the dividend.

_____

The dividend is positive, so the quotient will have the same sign as the divisor. (Negative divisors can be "almost zero," too.)
