Question

please help!!! Is the quotient 2/3 ÷ 1/2 greater than or less than 1? Is the quotient 1/2 ÷ 2/3 Greater than or less than 1? Explain your reasoning.​

Answer 1

In order to answer the question 2/3 / 1/2 in order to divide the fraction you need to multiply it by its inverse in the denominator(1/2) turning it into 2/3x2/1 which is 4/3. So the ANSWER would be yes, it is. You can do what I said for the next problem. For the other question the answer would NOT be greater than 1 because when you solve it the way I said earlier, it would be .75 for your answer

Explanation:

explanation is in the answer sorry..

Answer 2

the first quotient is greater than 1 and u get this by cross multiplying the equations which gets u to 4/3 or 1 1/3
the second is less than one and u do the same thing but get 3/4 which is less than 1
