Olivia divided a fraction by 3/4. the quotient was a whole number. was the the dividend less than 3/4? explain

Let's assume

Let's assume that fraction as 'x'

and whole number as 'n'

Olivia divided a fraction by 3/4

so, we get

The quotient was a whole number

so, we get

now, we can solve for x

where n is whole numbers

At n=0:

here , x is not fraction

so, n=0 is not possible

At n=1:

At n=2:

we know that x is dividend

and x can be equal to 3/4

and greater than 3/4

But it can not be less than 3/4..............Answer

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
