Why will the answer always be larger than the number divided when you divide by the decimal?

Because it's how many times the number has to be added to reach the overall value.
e.g. 4 / 0.2 = 20

What is larger 750 billionths of a meter or 400 billionths of a meter?
When you divide anything into 750 pieces they will always be smaller than the same thing divided into 400 pieces .... so obviously divided by 400 is BIGGER than divided by 750.
What is 200 divided by 21?
0.105
Is a two-digit decimal number always a larger number than a one-digit decimal number?
No.
When going from larger to smaller units of measurement do you always divide?
No, never.
What happens to a number when you divide it by a fraction or decimal less than one?
The answer is larger than the original number.
Why do you get a smaller answer when you divide a whole number by a decimal?
You may or you may not. If you divided by a decimal number that is greater than 1 then you will get a smaller number whereas if you divide by a number less than 1 then you will get a larger number.
When dividing a decimal by a decimal why is it sometimes necessary to add a zero to the right of the decimal point in the quotient?
Because when you want to divide a decimal by a larger number, like 3 divided by 5, you need to add a zero to make the 3, 30, so you can divide, but then the quotient has to be a decimal because 5 does not go into 3 evenly
When you divide a decimal by a number greater than 1 how does the quotient compare with the divided?
The quotient can be smaller or larger - depending on whether the original was negative or positive. It will be unchanged if it was 0.
Which is larger 2 over 3 or 7 over 10?
7/10 If you divide 2 by 3, you get the repeating decimal 0.6666, which is smaller than 7 divided by 10 (0.7)
What is larger 750 billionths of a meter or 400 billionths of a meter?
When you divide anything into 750 pieces they will always be smaller than the same thing divided into 400 pieces .... so obviously divided by 400 is BIGGER than divided by 750.
Can a triangle be divided into three equal parts?

Is any number divided by zero equal to zero?
No. Any number TIMES zero is zero. Any number DIVIDED by zero is infinity You can show this easily. Take any number - say 100. Divide it by 10 and the answer is 10. Now make the number that you divide into the 100 smaller - say, 5. The answer is now larger - 20 Carry on making the number that you divide into 100 smaller and smaller like this: 100 divided by 1 is 100 100 divided by 0.1 is 1000 100 divided by 0.01 is 10,000 100 divided by 0.001 is 100,000 So as the number you divide into 100 gets smaller the answer gets larger and larger. So when the number you divide becomes zero, then the answer must become infinity.
How can you test to determine whether a number is a factor of another number?
Divide the larger number by the smaller. If the result has no remainder (no decimal) then the smaller number is a factor of the larger.
