Chapter 1, Problem 4MCQ

To determine

To calculate : the value of the expression $\frac{x}{y}$ when $x=2$ and $y=14$ .

Answer to Problem 4MCQ

The value of the expression $\frac{x}{y}$ when $x=2$ and $y=14$ is $\frac{1}{7}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

Consider, the expression,

  $\frac{x}{y}$

Calculation :

To evaluate the value of the expression, substitute, 2 for $x$ and 14 for $y$ .

Therefore,

The value of the expression is obtained as:

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{x}{y}=\frac{\left(2\right)}{\left(14\right)}\\ \frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{7}\end{array}$ [Divide]

Hence,

The value of the expression $\frac{x}{y}$ when $x=2$ and $y=14$ is $\frac{1}{7}$ .
