The full question is:

Rick got 7 over 8 pound of honey from a hive. He calculated the quotient of 7 over 8 ÷ 5 over 6. Which statement shows the quotient and gives the most likely explanation of what Rick was trying to determine?

He can make 35 over 42 of a bottle of honey with 5 over 6 pound of honey in each bottle.

He can get 35 over 42 pound of honey if he divides the honey into 5 over 6-pound portions.
