Question

When will the
quotient of two fractions that are less
than 1 be greater than either fraction?

Answer 1

Answer:

see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

When in a quotient of two fractions that are less  than 1 , the numerator fraction is greater than the denominator fraction, then the result will always be greater than either of the two fractions.

Example

we have the quotient a/b

where

$a=\frac{1}{2}$

$b=\frac{1}{4}$  

In this problem

a > b -----> the numerator is greater than the denominator

so

$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4}{2}=2$

$2 > \frac{1}{2}\\\\2 > \frac{1}{4}$
