When you divide 2 fractions, is the quotient always smaller than the dividend?

I mean it depends. If you divide a fraction greater than 1, then it's possible that the quotient will be greater than the dividend.

No, when you divide 2 fraction you can get anything for an answer
for example

(16/5):(4/5)=4
(9/2):(3/2)=3

first example is 16/5<4
second 9/2>3
