Question

Which of the following quotients are true? Select all that apply. A. 1/2÷2=4 B. 1/3÷4=4/3 C. 1/2÷6=1 1/2 D. 1/5÷2=10 E. 1/8÷3=1 2/4

Answer 1

A. 1/2 ÷ 2 = 4

1/2 ÷ 2/1 = 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4 not 4

B. 1/3 ÷ 4 = 4/3

1/3 ÷ 4/1 = 1/3 ×1/4 = 1/12 not 4/3

C. 1/2 ÷ 6 = 1 1/2

1/2 ÷ 6/1 = 1/2 × 1/6 = 1/12

D. 1/5 ÷ 2 = 10

1/5 ÷ 2/1 = 1/5 × 1/2 = 1/10

E. 1/8 ÷ 3 = 1 1/4

1/8 ÷ 3/1 = 1/8 × 1/3 = 1/24
