Why does a whole number divided by a fraction less than one have a quotient greater than the whole number dividend?
If you think about it, it makes sense. when you divide a whole number (call that number X) by any number less than it(call that Z), the quotient (answer) is smaller than the first number. For example, 10/2=5, 12/4=3. Also, the lower the Z number is (ignoring if it were 1), the higher the quotient is. Therefore, since fractions are lower than 0, the quotient will be higher than the X number.
The quotient of a number and three decreased by five?
The quotient of a number and 3 decreased by 5 is almost 10". Match the statement with the inequality. 2/3-5 greater than equal to 10 3x-5 less than equal to 10 x/3 -5 less than equal to 10 3x-5 greater than 10
8 more than the quotient of a number and 6 is the same as 2 less than the number?
Given that X - 2 = X/6 + 8Multiply each term by 6, then 6X - 12 = X + 48,Subtracting X from each side and subtracting 12 from each side, 5X = 60, so X = 12
What isNine less than the quotient of two and a number?
2/x - 9
What is the algebraic expression for '4 less than the quotient of a number is 2'?
x/y - 4 = 2
Twelve less than the quotient of a number and 7 is -2?
9
What is 95 less than the quotient of x and 12?
x/12 - 95
What is seven less than the quotient of x and 9?
It is x/9 - 7.
What is 2 less than the quotient of a number and 8 look like?
Either 8 x - 2 or - 2, depending on whether you are dividing 8 by x or x by 8. x 8
How do you write the quotient of 8 and x less than 13?
13-(8/x)
How do you write the quotient of 8 and x less than 12?
8/(12 - x)
What is the quotient of 2 and a certain number is 3 less than 15?
2 * x = 15 - 3 2x = 12 divide both sides by 2 x = 6
What is the algebraic expression for the quotient of 2 less than twice a number and 4?
To say that 2 is less than twice a number and four means, algebraically, that 2 < 2x + 4. This simplifies to -2 < 2x or x > -1. This is not a quotient, however, so perhaps your question was not clearly worded.
What is 3 less than the quotient of 20 and x?

What is 12 less than the quotient of 5 and a number?
X = number. 5/X - 12 ======
