Answer:

A. If the dividend is greater than the divisor, the quotient will be greater than 1.

Explanation:

Checking all options

A. If the dividend is greater than the divisor, the quotient will be greater than 1.

That is,

4 ÷ 3 = 1.33

Where,

4 is the dividend

3 is the divisor

1.33 is the quotient

THIS IS TRUE

B.If the dividend is less than the divisor, the quotient will be greater than 1

That is,

3 ÷ 4 = 0.75

Where,

3 is the dividend

4 is the divisor

0.75 is the quotient

NOT TRUE

C. If the dividend is equal to the divisor, the quotient will be less than 1

That is,

3 ÷ 3 = 1

Where,

3 is the dividend

3 is the divisor

1 is the quotient

NOT TRUE

D. If the dividend is greater than the divisor, the quotient will be less than 1.

That is,

4 ÷ 3 = 1.33

Where,

4 is the dividend

3 is the divisor

1.33 is the quotient

NOT TRUE

Therefore, option A is TRUE
