What is the quotient of one and two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*is suspicious* 'one' and 'two' what?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

one and two numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, one number divided by two others?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

*one and two are numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going to go out on a limb here and post the obvious answer of one-half.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

that is not the quotient, that is the remainder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you're saying that after I combine two halves to make a whole, there is still something left over?

OpenStudy (cruffo):

0?

If you are redefining terms, please state your new definitions first, and then ask your question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If by "what is the quotient of one and two," and you don't mean one divided by two, then what are the divisors? If one-half is the remainder, is that the remainder for both separate dividends?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

cruffo is right

OpenStudy (cruffo):

dividind / divisor = quotient + remainder

OpenStudy (cruffo):

*dividend :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (cruffo):

It's just one of those "make you think about something you already know" kind of questions ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay i got confused

OpenStudy (cruffo):

\(1 \div 2 = 0 + R1\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let Q = quotient. 1 ÷ 2 = Q Q = 0 + R Q = ?
