yes; e.g. 1/6 / 1/3 = 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.


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


When you divide two fractions how can you tell if the quotient is greater then 1?

To determine if the quotient of two fractions is greater than 1, compare the two fractions directly. If the numerator (the first fraction) is greater than the denominator (the second fraction), the quotient will be greater than 1. Alternatively, you can convert the division of fractions into multiplication by flipping the second fraction and multiplying; if the result is greater than 1, the original quotient is also greater than 1.


Can the quotient of two fractions be ever equal to one?

Yes, but only if the two fractions are the same or equivalent fractions (other than 0).


Why is the quotient of two fractions less than either fraction?

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.


What is the answer to divide two fraction?

The quotient of the two fractions.


What is Nine less than the quotient of two and a number xxx?

The expression "the quotient of two and a number xxx" can be represented as 2 / xxx. Nine less than this quotient would be 2 / xxx - 9.


When is the product of two fractions less than its factors?

If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.


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.


The quotient of two proper fractions is a proper fraction?

No.
