Question

When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than one, the quotient is greater than the whole number. Why?

Answer 1

Because you have to put more of the little number into the big number to divide it. Easy :) 

Answer 2

Think about it logically. If you have 1 candy bar, how many half candy bars can make up one candy bar.

1 Candy bar/.5 candy bar = 2

2 half candy bars = 1 candy bar.

how many times can .5 fit into 1. 2 times.
