Answer:

41/0.08 is greater than 41 because if you divide by a number less than 1 and greater than 0, you have to actually MULTIPLY by the result of 1 over the divisor. For example, in 41/0.08, you have to do 41 times (1/0.08), in which (1/0.08) equals 12.5. 41 times 12.5 is obviously greater than 41, so there's your answer. Remember, if the divisor is less than 1, the quotient will be greater than the dividend. If the divisor is more than 1, the quotient will be less than the dividend.
