Question

6. Will the quotient be greater or less than one when 5.6 is divided by 7? Explain your thinking​

Answer 1

• Less than one

Explanation:

• 5.6 is divided by 7

Solution 1

• The quotient is less than one as 5.6 < 7
• Let the quotient be x, then
• 5.6/7 = x
• 5.6 = 7x
• Since 5.6 < 7
• x < 1

Solution 2

• 5.6/7 = 5.6*10/7*10 = 56/70 = 4*14/5*14 = 4/5
• 4/5 < 1
