There can be no reason because your assertion is not true.
For example, 1/6 and 1/2 are both fractions less than one. But their quotient is (1/6)/(1/2) = (1/6)*(2/1) = 2/6 = 1/3. And that is not more than 1/2.

Why is the quotient of two fractions less than 1 greater than both?
It need not be. The numbers 1/2 and (-1/2) are both fractions less than 1 but their quotient is -1, which is less than both the fractions.
When you divide a fraction by a whole number greater than one how does the quotient compare to the fraction?
The quotient is less than the fraction.
When you divide a unit fraction by a whole number will the quotient be greater than or less than the unit fraction?
The quotient will be less. 1/2 ÷ 2 = 1/4
What are negative fractions?
A fraction with a value of less than zero.
How do you round fractions less than 1?
By checking if its a mixed fraction
When will the quotient of two fractions less than 1 be greater than either fraction?
Yes. Consider two negative fractions. Since they are negative, both are less than 1. But their product is positive and so greater than either.
Why is the quotient of two fractions less than 1 greater than both?
It need not be. The numbers 1/2 and (-1/2) are both fractions less than 1 but their quotient is -1, which is less than both the fractions.
Why is the quotient of two fractions less than 1 always greater than either fraction?
There can be no answer because it is not necessarily true. Suppose f1 and f2 are two fractions.Suppose f1 = 1/2, which is less than 1;suppose f2 = -1/4, which is also less than 1.Then f1/f2 = -2 which is, in fact, smaller than either fraction. Go figure!

Why does the quotient of two fractions less than 1 greater than either fraction?
The statement is simply not true.Consider 2/9 and 2/3, both are fractions which are less than 1.Their quotient is (2/9) / (2/3) = (2/9)*(3/2) = 3/9 = 1/3The last time I checked, 1/3 was not greater than 2/3. I have no idea where you are getting your rubbish assertions from.
When you divide a unit fraction by a whole number will the quotient be greater than or less than the unit fraction?
The quotient will be less. 1/2 ÷ 2 = 1/4
When you divide two fractions does the quotient always greater than either fraction?
No. 1/5 divided by 1/2 = 2/5 (that's less than 1/2) 1/10 divided by 1/3 = 3/10 (that's less than 1/3)
Why does a unit fraction less than one is divided by a who number greater than 1 the quotient is always greater than the dividend?
Yes, but this is true of not just unit fractions but any positive number.
When you divide a whole number by a fraction less than one will the quotient be greater than or less than the whole number?
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
What are negative fractions?
A fraction with a value of less than zero.
Is the quotient of two fractions greater or less than the fractions you srart with?
It is greater as for example 3/4 divided by 1/4 is equal to 3
How do you round fractions less than 1?
By checking if its a mixed fraction
