Which group is this quotient group isomorphic to?
$begingroup$
Let $$G = left{begin{pmatrix} q&0\a+bi&qend{pmatrix} mid q in mathbb{Q}^ast, a,binmathbb{R}right}$$
and $$H = left{begin{pmatrix} q&0\a+ai&qend{pmatrix} mid q in mathbb{Q},q>0, ainmathbb{R}right}$$
Which known group is the quotient group $(G, ·)/H$ isomorphic to?
I don't know how to solve this. What I've tried:
$A,B in G$ belong to the same coset iff $A^{-1}B in H$.
Let $A = begin{pmatrix} q&0\a+bi&qend{pmatrix}$ and $B = begin{pmatrix} r&0\c+di&rend{pmatrix}$. Then $A^{-1} = begin{pmatrix} 1/q&0\(-a-bi)/q^2&1/qend{pmatrix}$ and $A^{-1}B = begin{pmatrix} r/q&0\frac{qc-ra+i(qd-rb)}{q^2}&r/qend{pmatrix}$
That means that $qc-ra$ should be equal to $qd-rb$. But I don't know how to move from here. Can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me what I'm doing wrong?

If you could prove, just from what you've got so far, that $qc - ra = qd - rb$, then you would have that $A^{-1}Bin H$ for all $A$ and $B$, hence $G/H$ would be trivial. That isn't the case, so that isn't going to be a useful line of enquiry.

Clearly we can identify $(G,cdot)$ with $(mathbb{Q}^* times mathbb{C},*)$ by
$$
begin{pmatrix}
q & 0 \
z & q
end{pmatrix}
mapsto (q,z)
$$
where $(q,z)*(r,w) = (qr, qw+rz)$. Note that $(mathbb{Q}^* times mathbb{C},*) simeq (mathbb{Q}^*,cdot) oplus (mathbb{C},+)$, in fact $(q,z) = (q,0)*(1,frac{z}{q})$ uniquely and
$$ ({ (q,0) in G: q in mathbb{Q}^* },*) simeq (mathbb{Q}^*,cdot) $$
$$ ({ (1,z) in G: z in mathbb{C} },*) simeq (mathbb{C},+) $$
since $(q,0)*(r,0) = (qr,0)$ and $(1,z)*(1,w) = (1,z+w)$. With this identification
$$ H simeq (mathbb{Q}^+,cdot) oplus (mathbb{R}(1+i),+) simeq (mathbb{Q}^+,cdot) oplus(mathbb{R},+). $$
Now since
$$ a+ib = frac{1}{2}Big( (a+b)(1+i)+(a-b)(1-i) Big), $$
we have $mathbb{C} simeq mathbb{R}(1+i) oplus mathbb{R}(1-i) simeq mathbb{R}oplus mathbb{R}$. Finally
$$ frac{G}{H} simeq frac{(mathbb{Q}^*,cdot) oplus (mathbb{C},+)}{(mathbb{Q}^+,cdot) oplus (mathbb{R},+)} simeq ({pm1} times mathbb{R},*). $$
Now $({pm1} times mathbb{R},*) simeq (mathbb{R},+)$ by $varphi$ defined $(a,r) mapsto ar$, in fact
$$ varphi Big( (a,r)*(b,s) Big) = varphi(ab,as+br) = ab(as+br) = bs + ar = varphi(a,r)+varphi(b,s). $$
Therefore $(G/H,cdot) simeq (mathbb{R},+)$.

I'm assuming that definition of $B$ is a typo?

"That means that qc−ra should be equal to qd−rb." Not unless you think $G/H$ is trivial (which it clearly isn't).

@user3482749 "Not unless you think G/H is trivial" can you explain?

If you could prove, just from what you've got so far, that $qc - ra = qd - rb$, then you would have that $A^{-1}Bin H$ for all $A$ and $B$, hence $G/H$ would be trivial. That isn't the case, so that isn't going to be a useful line of enquiry.
