Because the divisor is reversed as for example 5 divided by 1/5 becomes 5 times 5/1 = 25
It is numerically equivalent to 17.05 but the number in the question implies a greater degree of accuracy.
Convert the mixed number to a decimal and proceed.
This has absolutely nothing to do with decimals. For example, any positive number become smaller if divided by any number that is greater than 1: whether in rational form or decimal form.
Dividing a number by a decimal always gives a number greater than the dividend. Some decimal numbers are bigger than 1, eg 506.23 , so the answer is less. The statement "a number greater than you" has no meaning so the question cannot be properly understood.
divide it. divide top number by bottom number. You will get a decimal number
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.
The question cannot be answered because its assertion is not true.8 is a whole number, and -2.5 is a number which is less that 1. But 8/(-2.5) = -3.2 is not greater 8.
If the question is 2 divided by 3 you get a fraction or a decimal. the answer is 3/4 or .75.
One way is to look at the first number after the decimal. If it is bigger than the other, it is greater Another way is to divide the number.307 by .286 - if it is greater than one it is greater
.9 is greater. Look at the first number after the decimal point -if it is greater, the number is greater. if the number is the same, go to the next decimal point; if it is greater, the number is greater; etc.

It depends on what the question is. For example, yes, it is a rational number. Or no, it is not greater than 0.85
Convert the mixed number to a decimal and proceed.
Your question has no arithmetical solution because you have given us a number with two decimal points.
No, it is not greater that 5.
Whether or not you can do that depends on the size of the number. If the number in question is greater than [decimal] 66535, then you cannot.
