What is the quotient if the dividend is 1/2 & the divisor is 1/8?
( 1 / 2 ) / ( 1 / 8 ) =
1 * 8 / ( 2 * 1 ) =
8 / 2 = 4
good job, this helped me
( 1/2) • ( 1/8)
8/16 • 2/16 = 16/16 = 1
Well, when dividing fractions, we can simply remember the saying: "Keep, change, flip!" So, 1/2 divided by 1/8 would become 1/2 multiplied by 8/1. Now, would I recommend multiplying them? No, that's too exhausting for my clown brain, so I'll just tell you the answer is 4. Why do I need to multiply when I can do clown math?
To find the quotient when the dividend is 1/2 and the divisor is 1/8, you need to perform a division operation.
Step 1: Write down the dividend and divisor:
Dividend = 1/2
Divisor = 1/8
Step 2: To divide fractions, you need to multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor. The reciprocal of 1/8 is 8/1.
Step 3: Multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor:
(1/2) * (8/1) = (1 * 8) / (2 * 1) = 8/2 = 4
So, the quotient when the dividend is 1/2 and the divisor is 1/8 is 4.
