This is simply not true.

Consider 2/9 and 2/3

Then (2/9) / (2/3) = (2/9)*(3/2) = 1/3

and the last time I looked, 1/3 was not greater than 2/3.

So, if it is not greater than one fraction, it cannot be greater than both.

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 always greater than either fraction less than 1?

When both fractions are less than 1, their values are represented by numbers between 0 and 1. Dividing one fraction by another (where both are less than 1) effectively involves multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator, which is greater than 1. This means the quotient will yield a result that is larger than either of the original fractions. Thus, the quotient of two fractions, both less than 1, will always be greater than either 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.


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 do greater than and less than with fractions?

You find the common denominator for both fractions and which ever has the highest numerator is greater.


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.


Will the quotient be greater than or less than the dividend?

The quotient will be less than the dividend if the divisor is greater than 1. If the divisor is 1, the quotient will equal the dividend. If the divisor is between 0 and 1, the quotient will be greater than the dividend.
