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...

Irratonal numbers can't be written as a/b where a and b are integers and b≠0

so if it can be written in form a/b then it is not irrational

\sqrt{36}=6=\frac{6}{1}, it's rational

1/5 is rational

\sqrt{60}=2\sqrt{15} it's irrational because we can't simplify the square root further

6.3=6.3/1=63/100, rationanl

A shipping service restricts the dimensions of the boxes it will ship for a certain type of service.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Then the answer is option a  

a. 0<x \leq10

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter + height is less than 130 inches.

If height is 60 inches.then perimeter left is 70 inches.

If perimeter was more than 70 inches then perimeter 60 more than the height would be more than 130.

perimeter of rectangle is

It has two widths and two lengths because that's what rectangles do.

width of base "x"

Then the length is 2.5x

perimeter = 2 width + 2 length

= 2(x) + 2(2.5x)

= 2x + 5x

= 7x

but perimeter can't be more than 70 inches.

So x can't be more than 10 inches because if x was more than 10 inches, then 7x which is perimeter would be more than 70 inches.

2x + 2(2.5x) + 60 \leq  130

7x + 60 ≤ 130

7x ≤ 70

x ≤ 10

Then the answer is option a  

a. 0<x≤10
