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...
