Final answer:
To check whether the quotient 12 r 3 obtained by Nell for solving 63/5 is correct, we can use multiplication. When we multiply 12 by 5, we should get the numerator of the given fraction, which is 63.
Step-by-step explanation:
To check whether the quotient 12 r 3 obtained by Nell for solving 63/5 is correct, we can use multiplication. When we multiply 12 by 5, we should get the numerator of the given fraction, which is 63. So let's multiply 12 by 5.
- 12 * 5 = 60
Since the product is not equal to 63, we can conclude that the quotient obtained by Nell is incorrect. Therefore, the answer to the given fraction is not 12 r 3
