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...

Find the solution to the system of equations -3x-9y=18 4x+3y=12
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

(6,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x-9y = 18 (equation 1)

4x+3y = 12 (equation 2)

multiply equation 2 by 3, and add it to equation 2

-3x-9y = 18

12x+9y = 36

-----------------

X's cancel out

9x = 54

Divide both sides by 9

x = 6

Plug in 6 for x in any of the original equations

(Plugging into Equation 2)

4(6)+3y = 12       Multiply 4(6)

24+3y = 12         Subtract 24 from both sides

3y = -12              Divide 3 on both sides

y = -4

Therefore the solution is (6,-4).

A cooler contains ten bottles of sports drink: four lemon-lime flavored, three orange-flavored, and three fruit-punch flavored.
Alika [10]

Since there are a total of 10 bottles, the probability of getting a certain one is based on the number of those bottles in the cooler.

The probability of getting a lemon-lime flavored drink is 4/10 or 40%.

The probability of getting a orange flavored drink is 3/10 or 30%

The probability of getting a fruitpunch flavored drink is also 3/10 or 30%.

If the question is asking what the probability is of choosing lemon-lime, fruit punch and fruit punch again in that order, you would multiply the probabilities together.

.4 * .3 * .3 = .036, so there’s a 3.6% chance of picking these exact 3 flavors happening again.

Find the sum of the following infinite geometric series.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Final answer is \frac{80}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an infinite geometric series.

Now we need to find it's sum.

common ratio r=-\frac{1}{5}.

plug n=1 to get the first term

a_n=32\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)^{\left(n-1\right)}

a_1=32\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)^{\left(1-1\right)}

a_1=32\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)^{\left(0\right)}

a_1=32\left(1\right)

a_1=32

Now plug these values into infinite sum formula

S_{\infty}=\frac{a_1}{1-r}=\frac{32}{1-\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)}=\frac{32}{1.2}=\frac{320}{12}=\frac{80}{3}

Hence final answer is \frac{80}{3}.
