# What is the quotient 22/7 divided by 11/14

Explanation:

BEGIN

DEFINE n,tmp, tmp1 type Integer

n = 0

DISPLAY "Enter a number"

INPUT n

tmp = n + 4

tmp = tmp * 3

tmp = tmp + n

tmp1 = tmp / 2

tmp = tmp1 + 4

tmp = tmp / 2

tmp = tmp - n

DISPLAY tmp

END

0.3043

Step-by-step explanation:

7/23 = 0.3043

10/7

Step-by-step explanation: When dividing by a fraction, we can change the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So 4/7 ÷ 6/15 means the same thing as 4/7 · 15/6.

So when dividing by a fraction, we can just multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction or that fraction flipped.

Next we cross cancel.

4 and 6 reduce to 2 and 3.

So we have 2/7 · 15/3.

Multiplying across the numerators and denominators we have 30/21.

Now we can reduce by dividing top and bottom by 3 and we have 10/7.

So 4/7 ÷ 6/15 is 10/7.

In this case, you would use the keep, change, flip method. You would keep 6/7, change the division to multiplication, and flip the 1/2 to 2/1. Then you would multiply across like in normal fraction multiplication problems. The answer would be 12/7, or simplified, 1 5/7.
.  The rule is to bring up the lower fraction and flip it to multiply.  So we have .  Multiplying straight across the top and bottom gives you , choice D from above.
6/7÷1/2
6/7×2/1
12/7
1 5/7
you have to use the reciprocal of 1/2 and multiply reciprocal= flipping the fraction upside down
2.7/3=0.9
it is less than one
"The quotient 2.7 divided by 14" means

"How many times can you take 14 out of 2.7 ?"
or
"How many times can you stuff 14 into a space designed to hold 2.7 ?"

Whichever way you look at it, I'm sure you can see that it's less than 1 .
