Question

What is the coefficient of the term obtained when $24x{y}^2$ is divided by $8xy$?

• A. $3y$
• B. $y$
• C. $\frac{3}{y}$
• D. $3$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$3$

$Given:\frac{24x{y}^2}{8xy}$
The above expression can be factorised as,
$\frac{24x{y}^2}{8xy}=\frac{24\times x\times y\times y}{8\times x\times y}$
$=3y$
Hence, the quotient is 3y and its coefficient is 3.
