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

Mathematics
1 answer:
andrew-mc [135]3 years ago
5 0
If you divide by a decimal, you are breaking apart 1 into multiple pieces and so you are trying to find how many of that size piece will fit into 5. For example if you divide by .5 (point five), there are 2 point fives in 1 so there are 10 point fives in 5. The quotient is larger.

I hope you got that...

The missing step in this proof is ∠BAC ≅ ∠BDE ⇒ answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

If two triangles are similar by SAS, then their corresponding angles are

equal and the 3rd corresponding sides have constant ratio

In the two triangles ABC and DBE:

  • ∠ABC ≅ ∠DBE
  • \frac{AB}{DB}=\frac{BC}{BE}

Then the two triangles are similar

From similarity:

∠BAC ≅ ∠BDE

∠BCA ≅ ∠BED

∴ The missing step is ∠BAC ≅ ∠BDE

The missing step in this proof is ∠BAC ≅ ∠BDE

14) The perimeter of this isosceles triangle is represented by the
Galina-37 [17]

The isosceles triangle is missing so i have attached it.

Answer:

Length of unknown side = 5p + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In isosceles triangle, two of the sides are equal. In the attached triangle, we see that one of the equal sides is given as 5p + 3.

Thus,the second equal side is also 5p + 3.

Now, perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the three sides.

We have two sides and let the third side be denoted as x.

Thus;

Perimeter = (5p + 3) + (5p + 3) + x

We are given perimeter = 15p + 12

Thus;

(5p + 3) + (5p + 3) + x = 15p + 12

10p + 6 + x = 15p + 12

Rearranging, we have;

x = 15p - 10p + 12 - 6

x = 5p + 6

4C. Quintin is using the three different shaped
Sauron [17]

The smallest number of tiles Quintin will need in order to tile  his floor is 20

The given parameters;

  • number of different shapes of tiles available = 3
  • number of each shape = 5
  • area of each square shape tiles, A = 2000 cm²
  • length of the floor, L = 10 m = 1000 cm
  • width of the floor, W = 6 m = 600 cm

To find:

  • the smallest number of tiles Quintin will need in order to tile his floor

Among the three different shapes available, total area of one is calculated as;

A_{one \ square \ type} = 5 \times 2000 \ cm^2 = 10,000 \ cm^2

Area of the floor is calculated as;

A_{floor} = 1000 \ cm \times 600 \ cm = 600,000 \ cm^2

The maximum number tiles needed (this will be possible if only one shape type is used)

maximum \ number= \frac{Area \ of \ floor}{total \ area \ of \ one \ shape \ type} \\\\maximum \ number= \frac{600,000 \ cm^2}{10,000 \ cm^2} \\\\maximum \ number=  60

When all the three different shape types are used we can get the smallest number of tiles needed.

The minimum or smallest number of tiles needed (this will be possible if all the 3 different shapes are used)

3 \times \ smallest \ number  = 60\\\\smallest \ number = \frac{60}{3} \\\\smallest \ number = 20

Thus, the smallest number of tiles Quintin will need in order to tile  his floor is 20
