Given problem is "The quotient of 120 and 60 to the quotient of 72 and 9"

Which can be written as:


((120)/(60))/((72)/(9))

Now we have to simplify this problem

We can start by flipping the bottom fraction and multiply it with the top fraction, which gives:


= (120)/(60)*(9)/(72)


= (120*9)/(60*72)


= (1080)/(4320)

divide top and bottom by 1080 to reduce this fraction


= (1)/(4)

Hence final answer is
(1)/(4).

We need to find the quotient of 120 and 60 to the quotient of 72 and 9

Step 1 : Let's find the quotient of 120 and 60, which is equal to 120/60 =2

Step 2 : Let's find the quotient of 72 and 9, which is 72/9 = 8

Therefore, the quotient of 120 and 60 to the quotient of 72 and 9 = 2/8 =1/4

Hence, the correct answer of the given problem is 1/4.

Hope this helps ..!!
