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

1 answer:

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...

Simplify the expression by combining like terms if possible. If not possible select already simplified. 4a^2+2a+4a^2-5

vichka [17]

So the expression is: $4 a^{2} + 2a + 4 a^{2} - 5$

You can combine like terms, which are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. That means you can combine the two $4 a^{2}$ . $4 a^{2} + 4 a^{2} = 8 a^{2}$ The other terms can't be combined.

Your final answer should be $8 a^{2} +2a-5$ .
