376/93 has a greater quotient than 376/93.01 because 376/93 is 4.043010753 and 376/93.01 is 4.042576067. When you compare, 4.043010753 is greater than 4.042576067.

the quotient is basically the result of division exg the quotient of 4/2=2
well they are basically 376.0/93 and 376/93.01
if a number is after the decimal by itself, it doesn't matter, 2 is the same as 2.0 and 2.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

the only difference between the 2 fractions are the bottom number which are 93 and 93.01
93.01 is bigger than 93 because it has that extra 0.01 at the end
basically fractions are
x/y means x divided into y parts so therefor, the bigger y is, the more parts x is divided into and the smaller x becomes

since 93.01 is bigger than 93, 376/93.01 will be smaller tahn 376.0/93 since in 376/93.01, the 376 is divided into more parts

therefore, 376.0/93 is is the bigger quotient
