Why does dividing 5 by a decimal less than 1 give a quotient greater than 5

5 x 0.2 = 25

Or to put it a different way

25 / 0.2 = 5

Dividing something by a number greater than 1 gives you a smaller number
Dividing something by 1 gives the same number
Dividing something a number smaller than 1 gives you a larger number

This is because when you divide any number by 1, it is itself. when you divide a number by anything by anything more than 1, the answer is less than the starting number. ex: 5/1 =5. 5/2 =2.5. So, because of reasoning and what the calculator will tell is that if you divide by anything less than one, it has to be greater. For example 5/.5=10. this can be easy if you know porportions. what you do with those is try to make the denominator an easier number to understand or the same as another fraction/mixed number. So, to take 5/.5=10, you can multiply the top and bottom numbers by 2 to get 10/1, which we know for a fact, will always equal 10.

1. At the gym on Monday, Larry is told to up his weight on the bench-press by 15% from last week. Last week he was bench-pressin
QveST [7]

Answer:

300 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Larry bench pressed 200 lbs last week, and that he is supposed to increase by 15%. We know that any number times one is that same numbers. That means a number that is increaseing has to be greater than 1. So, we have to convert 15% into a decimal. That is 0.15. That plus one is 1.15. Now we just have to multiply 1.15 with 200. We get 300.
