Question

What is the solution to: Create two whole number division problems that have a quotient of 9 and a remainder of 5. justify which is greater using decimal division

Answer 1

9 5/x

where: x is the unknown second number and the divisor.

(9x+5)/x   *this is to convert mixed fraction into improper fractions. Improper fractions are fractions where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

Assume x = 9 

((9*9)+5)/9 = (81+5)/9 = 86/9 ;  1st number is 86. 2nd number is 9.

       9.55     OR  9 5/9 
9 | 86.00
     81       * 9 x 9
       5.0
       4.5    * 9 x 0.50
       0.50
       0 .45  *9 x 0.05
       0. 05
