Can someone plz help!! You need to make an explanation of how to Interpret the quotients of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.

In mathematics, a rational number is any number that can be expressed in the form p/q where "q" is not equal to zero.

The quotient of the rational number p/q is nothing but the result that we get when we divide "p" by "q".

Example 1 :

A diver needs to descend to a depth of 100 feet below sea level. She wants to do it in 5 equal descents. How far should she travel in each descent ?

Solution :

To find how far she should travel in each descent, we have to divide 100 by 5.

Step 1 :

Take the reciprocal of the divisor 5.

5 reciprocal > 1/5

Step 2 :

Multiply 100 by 1/5

(100) x (1/5)

Step 3 : Simplify

(20) x (1/1)

Step 4 : Multiply

(20) x (1/1) = 20

So, she should travel 20 feet in each descent.

Example 2 :

Over 5 months, Carlos wrote 5 checks for a total of $323.75 to pay for his cable TV service. His cable bill is the same amount each month. What was the change in Carlos’s bank account each month to pay for cable?

Solution :

Step 1 :

Use a negative number to represent the withdrawal from his account each month

Step 2 :

Find -323.75 / 5

Step 3 :

Determine the sign of the quotient.

The quotient will be negative because the signs are different.

Step 4 :

Divide.

-323.75 / 5 = -64.75

So, Carlos withdrew $64.75 each month to pay for cable TV.
