Question

Which value makes this statement true?

The quotient of a number and five is eight.

A. 4
B. 8
C. 40
D. 80
(I think the answer is 40 but I'm not sure)

Answer 1

The quotient is produced through the division of two numbers. For most people, multiplying is easier than dividing, so think of it like this.

The quotient of a number and five is eight, right?
Well, you multiply. You know that 5*8=40, right?
This must mean that if you take 40/5, you get 8. Or, if you take 40/8, you get 5.

Your answer is indeed 40
