suppose the divisor and the dividend of a division problem are both fractions between 0 and 1, and the divisor is greater than t

Virty [35]

Divisor and Dividend are fractions lying between 0 and 1

Also, Divisor > Dividend

⇒ A smaller number is being divided by a larger number

Whenever a smaller number is divided by a larger number, the quotient is less than 1

E.g. Let divisor be $\frac{4}{5}$ and dividend be $\frac{2}{5}$

$\frac{4}{5}$ ÷ $\frac{4}{5}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ , which is less than 1

Hence, the answer is that the quotient will be less than 1

There are x number of students at helms. If the number of students increases by 7.8% each year, how many students will be there

vodomira [7]

There will be 1.078x students next year and equation is number of students in next year = x + 7.8% of x

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given, There are "x" number of students at helms.

The number of students increases by 7.8% each year which means if there "x" number of students in present year, then the number of students in next year will be x + 7.8% of x

Number of students in next year = number of students in present year + increased number of students.

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Number of students in next year }=x+7.8 \% \text { of } x} \\\\ {\text { Number of students in next year }=x\left(1+\frac{7.8}{100}\right)} \\\\ {\text { Number of students in next year }=x(1+0.078)=1.078 x}\end{array}$
