Question

If ${}^{\prime }{a}^{\prime }$ chocolates are distributed amongst ${}^{\prime }{b}^{\prime }$ students equally, then what is the share of chocolates obtained by each student?

• A. $\frac{a}{b}$
• B. $\frac{b}{a}$
• C. $a+b$
• D. $a-b$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\frac{a}{b}$

Since, ${}^{\prime }{a}^{\prime }$ chocolates are distributed amongst ${}^{\prime }{b}^{\prime }$ students, this can be understood as ${}^{\prime }{a}^{\prime }$ chocolates are divided amongst ${}^{\prime }{b}^{\prime }$ students, and so, the share of each student would be ${}^{\prime }{a}^{\prime }$ divided by ${}^{\prime }{b}^{\prime }$ i.e., $\frac{a}{b}$.
