Find the quotient.

Question

45 ÷ five elevenths
A. two hundred twenty-five over eleven
B. 99
C. eleven over two hundred twenty-five
D. one over ninety-nine

Answer 1

To divide two numbers, we need to invert the divisor (the second number) and then multiply it with the dividend (the first number).

In this case, the dividend is 45 and the divisor is 5/11.

So,

45 ÷ 5/11 = 45 × 11/5 (inverted the divisor)

= 9 × 11

= 99

Therefore, the quotient is 99.

So, the answer is (B) 99.
