When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number. Why?

Dividing is the action of slimming a number down to a smaller size. When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1 the quotient is greater than the whole number because the that is how many times the quotient is a part of the whole number. For instance, you divide 100 by 4, you will get a quotient of 25. There are 4 parts of 25 to be equal to 100.

I hope this helps you!

NEEDED BY TOMORROW!
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

0.375, Terminating

Step-by-step explanation:

Mackenzie has 32 books and 12 of which are by her favorite author.

One of the easier ways to convert something to a decimal is to first start as a fraction. We need to have it be the number of books by her favorite author (12) out of the total number of books that she owns (32)

This in the form of a fraction would be \frac{12}{32}

Now, let us reduce this fraction.

Both terms can be divided by 4

\frac{12}{32}/\frac{4}{4} \\\\\frac{3}{8}

Recall that \frac{1}{8} =0.125

This means that

\frac{3}{8} =3*0.125=0.375

As you can see. this decimal stops after 3 places, which means that it is terminating.

4x-6y=14 slope and y intercept?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

m = 0.667

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate and show the solution for the x-intercept and y-intercept of 4x - 6y = 14.

Calculate the graph plot coordinates for 4x - 6y = 14

Solve 4x - 6y = 14 for x and also for y.

Calculate and show the solution for the slope of 4x - 6y = 14

Find x-intercept

The x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis. To find the x-intercept, we set y1=0 and then solve for x.

4x - 6y = 14

4x - 6(0) = 14

x1 = 3.5    y1 = 0

Find y-intercept

The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis. To find the y-intercept, we set x2=0 and then solve for y.

4x - 6y = 14

4(0) - 6y = 14

y2 = -2.333    x2 = 0

Get Graph Plot Coordinates

Getting two graph points will allow you to make a straight line on a graph. The plot coordinate format is (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).

Thus, we use the x-intercept and y-intercept results above to get the graph plots for 4x - 6y = 14 as follows:

(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

(3.5,0) and (0,-2.333)

Find slope

The slope of the line (m) is the steepness of the line. It is the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate. Simply plug in the coordinates from above and solve for m to get the slope for 4x - 6y = 14

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-2.333 - 0)/(0 - 3.5)

m = 0.667

hope this is correct! c:
