Let's start off with a normal division 5 divided by 2=?
If we consider this as the word problem "If I have 5 pints of water, then how many 2 pint bottles can I fill?" the answer is (hopefully) fairly straight forward - you can fill 2 and 1/2 of those bottles.
Now, if we consider a fraction in the same way 5 divided by 1/2 =?
The question becomes "If I have five pints of water how many half-pint bottles can I fill?" the answer being ten.
I hope this helps.
When a number is a fraction, the reciprocal will always be greater than the original number. When the original number is a whole number, the reciprocal will be a fraction, which is less than a whole number.
nio, it is not; a negative number is always less than a positive number.
Any number from 781 to 799
423 is bigger than 413 because it is the tenth successor to 413. Dividing both by a positive number - in this case, 100 - does not change their order. So 423/100 is bigger than 413/100.In other words, 4.23 > 4.13
22 is one possible answer.
Because you are multiplying by the inverse, which is bigger than the original fraction.
0.7778
Dividing by two will always half the original number.
Dividing a number by a decimal always gives a number greater than the dividend. Some decimal numbers are bigger than 1, eg 506.23 , so the answer is less. The statement "a number greater than you" has no meaning so the question cannot be properly understood.
Anything 5 or less.
That's because 0.01 is less than one.If you multiply a number by 1, you get the same number back. If you multiply a positive number by a number that is less than one, you get back a number that is less than your original number. Similarly, if you multiply a positive number with something that is more than one, you get a result that is more than your original number.
Any number less than twelve.
the result is a number less than the original number
Yes, 0.3 is bigger, because it has less zeros, and the means the number must be less
It simply means you are dividing by a number less than one. No big deal!
If you multiply a number by 0.8, the result is 20% less than the original number.
When a number is a fraction, the reciprocal will always be greater than the original number. When the original number is a whole number, the reciprocal will be a fraction, which is less than a whole number.
