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

Mathematics

Because dividing 5 by something means "how many times
can that 'something' fit into 5 ?

If the 'something' is less than ' 1 ', then of course it can fit into 5
more than 5 times.

What is the median of the following data values? 108,102,43,100,22
PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> 100

<u>Reasoning:</u> The median is the "middle value" and to find it put the numbers in order from least to greatest.

22, 43, 100, 102, 108.

now take a number from both sides

43, 100, 102

Once again.

100

So 100 is the median.
