Will the quotient be always greater than the dividend when the divisor is a decimal? Class 7
Question 1.
Will the quotient be always greater than the dividend when the divisor is a decimal? Try it out with different values of the divisor. Class 7
Solution:
No. For example,
2.5 ÷ 1.25 = 2, which is < 2.5
2.5 ÷ 0.5 = 5, which is greater than 2.5.
Hence, sometimes it will be greater than and sometimes it will be less than the dividend.
Question 2.
Express the following fractions in decimal form : Class 7
(a) [latex]\frac {2}{5}[/latex]
(b) [latex]\frac {13}{4}[/latex]
(c) [latex]\frac {4}{50}[/latex]
(d) [latex]\frac {5}{8}[/latex]
Solution:
(a) 0.4
(b) 3.25
(c) 0.08
(d) 0.625
