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...

Molodets [167]

Answer: option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following formul given in the problem:

p=1-e^{-mt}

You know that:

The number of  customers serviced in an hour by the technical support representative is 6 costumbers, therefore:

m=6

As the problem asked for the probability that  a costumber will be on hold less than 30 minutes, we know that:

t=0.5

Substitute the values above into the formula.

Then, you obtain:

p=1-e^{-(6)(0.5)}=0.95 or 95%

Write the equation of the line described
Alexeev081 [22]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = x factor = - 5/2

Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other:  m1 * m2 = –1

New slope = 2/5 = m

y = mx + b

from the point given y = 2 | x = -4

2 = (2/5 × -4 ) + b

2 = - 1.6 + b

b = 3.6

line equation

y =  \frac{2}{5} x + 3.6
