Question

What is the quotient ? a-3/7 divided by 3-a/21

Answer 1

d on edge

Explanation:

Answer 2

Hence, the quotient that is obtained after division is:

-3

Explanation:

We are asked to find the quotient when:

`(a-3)/(7)` is divided by
`(3-a)/(21)`

i.e. we have dividend as
`(a-3)/(7)` and divisor as:
`(3-a)/(21)`; i.e. we keep the dividend in the numerator and divisor in the denominator to obtain the resultant i.e. quotient.

so, we calculate the quotient as:

`((a-3)/(7))/((3-a)/(21))\\\\\\=(-(3-a)* 21)/(7* (3-a))\\\\=-3`

Hence, the quotient that is obtained after division is:

-3
