I think theres an actual name for it, This is how the question is: 1. a/b means __________________?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

a divided by b for b not equal to zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Doesn't seem right to me.. :l

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Important: $$b\ne0$$

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$a/b=\dfrac{a}{b}=a\div b$$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait your right, the answer is just a divided by b

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

But b is not equal to 0.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

If b = 0, then a/b is undefined.
