(i meant to say)
Will the expression
5
_
x
always be less than 5?
Explain.
no, what if x is .1 ?
it says to explain I don't no how to explain that will it be yes 5 over x is possible to b less than 5. will that be correct if not may you explain in an easy understanding.
What is 5 divided by 0.1?

To determine if the expression (5/x) will always be less than 5, we need to analyze the possible values of x.
If x is a positive number greater than 1, then 5 divided by x will be a fraction less than 5. For example, if x equals 2, then 5 divided by 2 is 2.5, which is less than 5. Similarly, if x equals 10, then 5 divided by 10 is 0.5, which is also less than 5. Therefore, when x is a positive number greater than 1, the expression (5/x) will always be less than 5.
If x equals 1, then the expression becomes 5 divided by 1, which is equal to 5. So when x is equal to 1, the expression is not less than 5, but rather equal to 5.
If x is a fraction between 0 and 1 (exclusive), then the expression (5/x) will result in a value greater than 5. For example, if x equals 0.5, then 5 divided by 0.5 is 10, which is greater than 5. Similarly, if x equals 0.1, then 5 divided by 0.1 is 50, also greater than 5. Therefore, when x is a fraction between 0 and 1, the expression (5/x) will always be greater than 5.
In conclusion, the expression (5/x) will always be less than 5 when x is a positive number greater than 1. However, when x equals 1 or when x is a fraction between 0 and 1, the expression can be equal to or greater than 5.
