Why does a whole number divided by a fraction less than one have a quotient greater than the whole number dividend?
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.

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.
Why does a unit fraction less than one is divided by a who number greater than 1 the quotient is always greater than the dividend?
Yes, but this is true of not just unit fractions but any positive number.
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 quotientis always greater than the dividend?
No. The quotient is less than or greater than the dividend, depending on the sign of the fraction.4 / (1/2) = 8, which is greater than 4.4 / (-1/2) = -8, which is smaller than 4.-4 / (1/2) = -8, which is smaller than -4.-4 / (-1/2) = 8, which is greater than -4.
Will the quotient of 5 divided by 7-8 fraction be greater or less than 5 explain?
you have to figure it out
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.
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.

When the divisor is less than the dividend is greater than one is the quotient is greater than one?
Yes, when the divisor is less than the dividend, and the dividend is greater than one, the quotient will always be greater than one. This is because dividing a larger number by a smaller number yields a result greater than one. For example, if you divide 5 (dividend) by 2 (divisor), the quotient is 2.5, which is greater than one.
When a whole number greater than one is divided by a unit fraction less than one the quotientis always greater than the dividend?
No. The quotient is less than or greater than the dividend, depending on the sign of the fraction.4 / (1/2) = 8, which is greater than 4.4 / (-1/2) = -8, which is smaller than 4.-4 / (1/2) = -8, which is smaller than -4.-4 / (-1/2) = 8, which is greater than -4.

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.
What will happen when you divide by a fraction?
If the dividend (the number being divided into) is zero, then there is no change in value as the result is also zero; Otherwise:if the fraction is a proper fraction (the numerator is less than the denominator) then the (absolute) value of the dividend will increase; otherwiseif the fraction is an identity (the numerator equals the denominator) then the value of the dividend will not change; otherwisethe fraction is an improper fraction (the numerator is greater than the denominator) and the (absolute) value of the dividend will decrease.

The answer will depend on the sign of the fraction.(1/4) / 2 = 1/8, which is smaller.(-1/4) / 2 = -1/8, which is greater.
When you divide a fraction by a whole number greater than one how does the quotient compare to the fraction?
