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...

two pounds of grapes cost $6 . complete the table showing the price of different amounts of grapes at this rate
Degger [83]

Answer:

Table shown below

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem let's use proportions.

If 2 pounds of grapes cost $6, half the amount will cost half the dollars, so the last row will have $3 in the price

For the second row, we know the price is $1, that is, one-sixth of the original given price. It should correspond to one-sixth of the amount of grapes or 2/6 pounds.

Simplifying the fraction, we get 1/3 or 0.33 pounds
