To determine which statement contains a quotient, let's first understand what a quotient is. A quotient is the result of division.
Now, let's examine each statement:
A. [tex]\(42 \div 6 = 7\)[/tex]
This statement shows a division operation, and the result of dividing 42 by 6 is 7. Therefore, it contains a quotient, which is 7.
B. [tex]\(7 + 6 = 13\)[/tex]
This statement shows an addition operation, and the result of adding 7 and 6 is 13. There is no division involved, so it does not contain a quotient.
C. [tex]\(7 \times 6 = 42\)[/tex]
This statement shows a multiplication operation, and the result of multiplying 7 and 6 is 42. There is no division involved, so it does not contain a quotient.
D. [tex]\(7 - 6 = 1\)[/tex]
This statement shows a subtraction operation, and the result of subtracting 6 from 7 is 1. There is no division involved, so it does not contain a quotient.
From these analyses, we can see that the statement that contains a quotient is:
A. [tex]\(42 \div 6 = 7\)[/tex]
So, the best answer is choice A.
