Question

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

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

Answer 1

The correct option is B $3$

$Given:\frac{24x{y}^2}{8xy}$

The above expression can be written 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.
