Question

les said that the quotient of 3.9÷0.75 is 0.52 explain how you know less incorrect without completing the division

Answer 1

`3.9/ 0.75 = 5.2`

Explanation:

Les performed the following division:

`3.9/ 0.75`

She said that the quotient is 0.52.

Les performed the division incorrectly. Because as it is clear the divisor which is 0.75 is smaller than the dividend 3.9.

Since,

`\textbf{divisor $<$ dividend}`

It is pretty clear that the quotient will always be greater than 1.

If Les would have performed the division correctly, she would have obtained:

`3.9/ 0.75 = 5.2`
