Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient is the result of dividing one number by another.

[tex]\frac{10}{\frac{1}{7} } = ?[/tex]

is how you would represent the quotient of 10 and 1/7.

The opposite of division is multiplication, and those we can rearrange that and get:

[tex]? * \frac{1}{7} = 10, or, ?/7 = 10[/tex]

or in other words, "what number divided by 7 is 10"

The answer becomes clearer, 70 is that number.

D represents this idea.
