which problem will have the greater quotient, 376.0 divided by 93 or 376 divided by 93.1/
umm... 376 divident by 93.01
It's easier to visualize with smaller numbers. 18 divided by 3 = 6 18 divided by 6 = 3 If the dividend is the same, the smaller the divisor, the larger the quotient.
It might be easier to visualize with smaller numbers. 30 divided by 5 = 6 30 divided by 6 = 5 The larger the divisor, the smaller the quotient.
376 divided by 93.01 is 4.04
188
1.4601
Neither.
376.0 divided by 93
The two numerators are the same. The first denominator is smaller so the quotient is larger.
4.043
376/93 is greater, because the whole 376 has beencut up into fewer pieces, so each piece is larger.
376.0 divided by 93
The two numerators are the same. The first denominator is smaller so the quotient is larger. As a result the first quotient is greater.
93*4 = 372 so 365/93 < 372/93 = 4 93.01*4 = 372.04 so 376/93.01 > 372.04/93.01 = 4 So the second quotient is greater.
The examples are deliberately confusing. 63/7 = 9 63/9 = 7 If the dividends are the same, the smaller divisor will create the greater quotient. Choose 93.
376.0/93 The numerical values of both the numerators are the same. In the second case the denominator is larger and so the quotient will be smaller.
4.0426
The former (the first one) has.
