Answer: The quotient = 10

Explanation: A quotient is the result you get when a number is used to divide another number. e . g.

6¹/₄ ÷ ⁵/₈ ( where 5/8 is the divisor )

First convert 6¹/₄ to improper fraction

= 25/4 ÷ 5/8

= 25/4 × 5/8

= 10

The quotient = 10.

NOTE: The 5/8 changed to 8/5 because when dividing fractions, immediately you applied the multiplication symbol, the denominator of the divisor becomes the numerator and vice versa
