Problems rarely say, find the quotient or what is the product of.
Here is one for you:
Aaron is a jewelry maker and uses 5/16 ounces of gold for each ring he designs. How many complete rings can Aaron make when his gold supply is down to 2 5/8 ounces?

also is it true that when you multiply fractions the answer gets SMALLER unlike whole numbers when the answer gets LARGER. So if you think thru the problem and decide will my final answer get greater or lesser?
