A "decimal" can be any number which is not a while number - for example 3.4 or 0.7

If a number is divivded by any number less than 1, the result is a larger number.

So that

5 divided by 0.2 = 25.0

and

4 divided by 0.5 = 8.0

... which are greater than the original numbers

But

5 divided by 2.2 = 2.2727

and

4 divided by 1.5 = 2.6667

... which are less than the original numbers
