The quotient need not be greater than a whole number less than one!
The quotient is less than the fraction.
The quotient will be less. 1/2 ÷ 2 = 1/4
When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient increases because the divisor represents a fraction of the whole number. Dividing by a smaller number means you are essentially determining how many times that smaller amount can fit into the whole number, resulting in a larger quotient. For example, dividing by 0.5 means you are finding out how many halves are in the whole number, effectively doubling the result.
Yes as for instance 8 divided by 4 = 2 but 8 divided by 1/4 = 32
It can be greater than or less than it.
When you divide a number by a fraction between zero and one, the quotient will be greater than that number.
It will be greater.
greater

The question cannot be answered because its assertion is not true.8 is a whole number, and -2.5 is a number which is less that 1. But 8/(-2.5) = -3.2 is not greater 8.
The quotient is always greater than the whole number. Why? Because it takes more to add up a smaller number than a bigger number. I hope this makes sense.. I'm really stupid XD
Generally, the quotient of a whole number divided by a fraction will be greater than that whole number, because division is simply multiplying the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor. For instance: 2 / (1/2) = 2 * (2/1)
I have no idea about the quotation, but the quotient is less than the divisor.

True.
If you think about it, it makes sense. when you divide a whole number (call that number X) by any number less than it(call that Z), the quotient (answer) is smaller than the first number. For example, 10/2=5, 12/4=3. Also, the lower the Z number is (ignoring if it were 1), the higher the quotient is. Therefore, since fractions are lower than 0, the quotient will be higher than the X number.
