You may or may not be able to. The diameter of a circle with circumference 10 cm is 10/pi, a division problem. But there is no answer using rational numbers.
A rational expression
r ≠ (+/-)7, as that would cause division by 0
Negative.
The Answer To A Division Problem Is The Quotient.
You may or may not be able to. The diameter of a circle with circumference 10 cm is 10/pi, a division problem. But there is no answer using rational numbers.
To divide a number by x = p/q, you simply multiply by q/p, instead.
The numbers in a division problem are called dividend, divisor, and quotient.
It means that either the numbers involved in the word problem are all rational or that any irrational numbers are being approximated by rational numbers.
A rational expression
To look at the numbers in the division problem
r ≠ (+/-)7, as that would cause division by 0
The three terms of a division problem is dividend, divisor, and quotient.
Operations with rational numbers are carried out in exactly the same way as those for irrational numbers. There is, therefore, no difference in the methods for solving the two types of problems.
Out of
The divisor and the dividend
The first number is called the dividend. The second number is called the divisor. The answer is called the quotient.
