Question

In the division problem, 0.08 ÷ 2 = 0.04, the (BLANK) is 0.08. 1.Dividend 2.Divisor 3.quotient

Answer 1

Given the expression 0.08 ÷ 2 = 0.04, we are to determine the nature of the value 0.08.

Generally, if we have an expression in the form;

`(a)/(b)\text{= c}`

The output c is the QUOTIENT

a is the DIVIDEND

b is the DIVISOR

Comparing the values with the expression given;

`(0.08)/(2)=0.04`

We can see that 'a' is equivalent to 0.08, showing that it is a DIVIDEND. Hence option 1 is correct. The DIVIDEND is 0.08
