Question

find the quotients.

expression | quotient
--- | ---
$8\div2$ | $4$
$8\div1$ | $8$
$8\div\frac{1}{2}$ | $16$
$8\div\frac{1}{3}$ | $24$

• complete the sentence to describe the table.

the answer to each division problem was? less than 8.
options: always, sometimes, never

Explanation:

Looking at the table:

• $8 \div 2 = 4$ (less than 8), but $8 \div 1 = 8$, $8 \div \frac{1}{2} = 16$, $8 \div \frac{1}{3} = 24$ are all equal to or greater than 8. Since not all answers are less than 8, the correct term is "never" (as the statement claims "each division problem was less than 8", which is not true for most entries).

Answer:

never
