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

Mathematics

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 correct and best answer will be marked as brainiest
marta [7]

Answer:

x=10

m=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are the same since the sides are the same length (isosceles triangle)

55 = 5x+5

Subtract 5

55-5 =5x+5-5

50 = 5x

Divide by 5

50/5 = 5x/5

10=x

The altitude is a perpendicular bisector so

5m-3 = 2m+6

Subtract 2m from each side

5m-3-2m = 2m+6-2m

3m-3 = 6

Add 3 to each side

3m-3 +3 =6+3

3m =9

Divide by 3

3m/3 = 9/3

m =3
