The quotient for 20÷1/4 is 5. It wants to know which expression has the same quotient as 20÷1/4.
A.1/2÷40
B.1/4÷20
C.15÷1/5
D.6÷1"10
None of these have the quotient of 5. So what are we doing wrong cause none have the choice of none of these
The problem is in error.
20 divided by 1/4 =
20 * (4/1) = 80
or
20/0.25 = 80
To find the expression that has the same quotient as 20÷1/4, we need to simplify the division.
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. So, 20÷(1/4) can be rewritten as 20×(4/1).
Multiplying 20 by 4 gives us 80, and multiplying 1 by 1 gives us 1. Therefore, the simplified expression is 80÷1.
From the given options, the expression that has the same quotient as 20÷1/4 is D. 6÷1.
To find the expression that has the same quotient as 20÷1/4, we need to simplify the given expression and compare it to the options. Let's start by simplifying 20÷1/4.
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 1/4 is 4/1 or simply 4. So, we can rewrite the expression as:
20 ÷ (1/4) = 20 × (4/1) = 80/1 = 80
Now, let's compare this simplified quotient of 80 with the options provided:
A. 1/2 ÷ 40 = (1/2) × (1/40) = 1/80
B. 1/4 ÷ 20 = (1/4) × (1/20) = 1/80
C. 15 ÷ (1/5) = 15 × (5/1) = 75
D. 6 ÷ 1/10 = 6 × (10/1) = 60
As you correctly noted, none of the options have the quotient of 5, as the original expression had. It seems there might be an error in the given options or question. You can double-check to see if there is any additional information or if any part of the question was misunderstood.
