Answer and explanation;

If we choose two whole numbers; 8 and 10

We want to divide certain numbers by 8 and 10 to get 9 remainder 5.

In this case; 77 divided by 8 is equal to 9 rem 5

and 95 divided by 10 is equal to 9 rem 5

To justify which is greater, we use decimal division;

= 77 divided by 8 we get 9.625 ( 77 ÷ 8 = 9.625)

and

= 95 divided by 10 is equal to 9.5 (95 ÷10 = 9.5)

Therefore; the first case is greater since 9.625 is greater than 9.5

That is; 9 rem 5 got after dividing 77 by 8 is greater than 9 rem 5 got after dividing 95 by 10.
