Parker reviews his homework before he turns it in. When he sees the equation 1.02 divided by 0.6= 0.17, he knows it is wrong. He says, "Since the divisor is 0.6 I can tell the answer is wrong by comparing the quotient and the dividend"

Answer:

The result of the division of a number by a fraction is larger than the fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,we note that value Parker divided by 0.6. =1.02

Written down result of the division = 1.02/0.6 = 0.17

However, since the numerator is 1.02, then the result of dividing it by a fraction should yield a higher number instead of 0.17

Therefore we check as follows

1.02/0.6 = 1.7

The error is apparently due to dividing 1.02 by 6 rather than 0.6
