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

1 answer:

3 0

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!

probability = favourable outcomes/total outcomes

you need 1 banana, out of 4 and there are total of 6 items so probability will be 4/6

when you take out 1 banana, there are 3 banana left and total of 5 items

so probability of this action will be 3/5

now, next action is taking out another banana.

this is NOT an independent event.

so by we will multiply the probabilities of these events according to rule of products.

so the answer is $\frac{4\cdot3}{6\cdot5}=\frac25$

or 2×100/5=40%

Need help please! Not sure how to do this

Kisachek [45]

This problem is fairly simple if you know the exponential equation, you start with y=78(.17)^x. the you put 10=78(.17)^x, then you solve for x

10=78(.17)^x
-78
-68=.17^x
divide .17 then you have your answer!!
