Susan divides the fraction 5/8 by 1/16 . Her friend Robyn divides 5/8 by 1/32 predict which person will get the greater quotient . Explain and check your prediction
Question
Answer:
So when you divide fractions, you keep the first fraction (in this case 5/8) then change the sign from divide to multiply, then flip the second fraction (we’ll use 1/16 first)So 5/8 times 16/1. 80/8. Simply to 10.
Now do the same with 5/8 and 1/32
5/8 times 32/1. 160/8. Simplify to 20.
So I good prediction would be 1/32 since you have to flip the divisor and multiply.
