Question

Rick got 7 over 8 pound of honey from a hive. He calculated the quotient of 7 over 8 ÷ 5 over 6. Which statement shows the quotient and gives the most likely explanation of what Rick was trying to determine?

He can make 35 over 42 of a bottle of honey with 5 over 6 pound of honey in each bottle.
He can get 35 over 42 pound of honey if he divides the honey into 5 over 6-pound portions.
He can make 1 and 2 over 40 bottles of honey with 5 over 6 pound of honey in each bottle.
He can get 1 and 2 over 40 pounds of honey if he divides the honey into 5 over 6-pound portions.

Answer 1

so \[\frac{ 7 }{ 8 } \div \frac{ 5 }{ 6 }\] this look right?

Answer 2

Well dividing fractions is the same as multiplying them so first flip 5/6 to 6/5 and then what is 7 x 6?
