Answer to Problem 41PPS
The value of the divisor increases, the quotient decreases.
Explanation of Solution
Given information.
The model at the left shows:
The model at the right shows:
In the first model:
The divisor is:
The quotient is:
In the second model:
The divisor is
The quotient is: 3
It is seen that as the value of the divisor increases, the quotient decreases.
Consider the following cases:
(1)
(2)
(3)
Thus, as the value of the divisor increases, the quotient decreases.
