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.
True.
Yes, but this is true of not just unit fractions but any positive number.
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.
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.
you have to figure it out

I have no idea about the quotation, but the quotient is less than the divisor.
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.
The quotient is less than the fraction.
much much much greater
The two numerators are the same. The first denominator is smaller so the quotient is larger. As a result the first quotient is greater.
less than
