Question

Basic math

Which is true about x, the quotient of the division problem shown below?
81 divided by 918
The quotient contains a repeating decimal.
The quotient contains a terminating decimal.
The quotient is a whole number less than 11.
The quotient is a whole number greater than 11.

Answer 1

The quotient contains a terminating decimal and The quotient is a whole number less than 11.

Explanation:

To answer this one, it's mandatory to remember that quotient, is the outcome of a ratio: a number (r) over another (s) (different than 0). In this case:
`(81)/(918)`. So q is equal to =0.08823529411.

Analyzing the number: 0.08823529411

This is not a repeating decimal, but it is a terminating decimal for it has an end.

The quotient is also a whole number less than 11.

The Whole Set of numbers is made up of the following numbers W ={0,1,2,...} and 0 < 11. Therefore it is true.
