Question from Ghita, a student:

Order these distances from least to greatest
1/2 , 5/8 , 3/4
What is a quotient?
Please answer me soon.
Ghita

Hi Ghita,

Write the three fractions with a common denominator and then the order will be clear.

A quotient is a fraction or a division. The quotient of 3 by 5 is 3/5.
