suppose the divisor and the dividend of a division problem are both fractions between 0 and 1, and the divisor is greater than the dividend. Is the quotient less than, equal to, or greater than 1?

Respuesta :

Divisor and Dividend are fractions lying between 0 and 1

Also, Divisor > Dividend

⇒ A smaller number is being divided by a larger number

Whenever a smaller number is divided by a larger number, the quotient is less than 1

E.g. Let divisor be [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] and dividend be [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], which is less than 1

Hence, the answer is that the quotient will be less than 1

Answer:

Less than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Fisrt of all, just to be clear: The dividend is the number to be divided by the divisor.

To answer this question it is enough to make some tests, for example:

0,5/0,6 Here, they are both numbers between 0 and 1, and the divisor is greater than the dividend.

The result is 0,8333 , LESS THAN 1

An extreme exaple would be

0,00001/0,99999 = 0,0001 --> It tends to 0
