What happens to the quotient when you divide a fraction by a fraction?

The quotient is larger than the original fraction.


Why is the quotient larger than the dividend in a fraction?

Because you can take a piece of an apple out of a bag of apples more times than the number of whole apples in the bag.


What is a division problem where the quotient is larger than the dividend?

Well, honey, a division problem where the quotient is larger than the dividend is technically not possible in the realm of real numbers. You see, division is all about breaking things down into smaller parts, so it's like trying to fit a big ol' watermelon into a tiny little cup - just ain't gonna happen. Stick to addition if you want to see numbers grow, sweetie.


What is an equation when the quotient is bigger than the dividend?

If the divisor of the dividend is a fraction then the quotient is increased as for example 14 divided by 2 = 7 but 14 divided by 1/2 or 0.5 = 28


When dividing why is the quotient is always bigger than the divisor?

The quotient is not always bigger than the divisor; it depends on the relationship between the dividend and divisor. When the dividend is smaller than the divisor, the quotient will be less than one. However, when the dividend is larger than the divisor, the quotient can be greater than, equal to, or less than the divisor depending on the specific numbers involved. Thus, the statement is not universally true.


Why is the quotient larger than the dividend when dividing by a unit fraction?

Rules for dividing by a fraction are multiply by the reciprocal. The reciprocal of a unit fraction is a whole number. Multiplying by a whole number will make the answer (quotient) larger. ex unit fraction 1/a 7 divided by 1/a = 7 x a/1 = 7a .... a times larger than 7.


Can the quotient be bigger than the dividend?

yes


When you divid a fraction less than 1 by a whole number greater than 1 how does the quotient compare to the dividend?

The answer depends on the sign of the numbers.(1/4) / 2 = 1/8, which is smaller.(-1/4) / 2 = -1/8, which is greater.


When a whole number greater than one is divided by a unit fraction less than one the quotient is always greater than the dividend true or false?

True.


When you divide a unit fraction less than 1 by a whole number is the quotient larger or than fraction smaller than?

it is smaller (1/2)/2=.25


When you divide a fraction less than one by a whole number greater than one is the quotation less than greater than or equal to the dividend?

I have no idea about the quotation, but the quotient is less than the divisor.


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.
