If you were to place the digits 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, one per box to find the smallest possible quotient , what would that quotient be
To find the smallest possible quotient, we need to arrange the digits in such a way that the numerator is as small as possible while the denominator is as large as possible.
The smallest possible numerator would be 0. Placing it in the tens place gives 20 as the numerator.
The largest possible denominator would be 8. Placing it in the ones place gives 8 as the denominator.
Therefore, the smallest possible quotient would be 20 divided by 8, which is 2.5.
