Question

Explain the steps you would take to find the quotient of

1\3÷ 4\3

Answer 1

For this case we must find the quotient of the following expression:

`\frac {\frac {1} {3}} {\frac {4} {3}}`

If we apply double C we have:

`\frac {3 * 1} {3 * 4} =`

We cancel similar terms in the numerator and denominator and finally we have the quotient is:

`\frac {1} {4}`

Answer:

`\frac {1} {4}`

Answer 2

The quotient is 1/4

Explanation:

1/3 ÷ 4/3

The first step you have to do is change the division sign into multiplication. So that the denominator of 2nd term will become numerator and the numerator will become denominator.

Like:

1/3 * 3/4

Now you can cancel out 3 by 3

1 * 1/4

1/4

Thus the quotient is 1/4 ....
