This math problem is somewhat tricky.
It says to write a pair of decimal division expressions, so that when you estimate and compare the quotients, you get 9>3.
The below is what I thought of:
18.2/2 and 30.3 divided by 10
18.2 is rounded to 18 so then 18/2=9
30.3 is rounded to 30 so then 30/10=3
9>3
Please let me know if that would be a good decimal division expression?
looks good to me.
but why did you not just write 30.3/10 ?
Thank you for looking this math problem over. I appreciate you letting me know about the /. I just felt like writing out the word divided.
Thx for you assistance.
Yes, the decimal division expressions you have provided are correct and fulfill the conditions of the problem. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how you arrived at the answer:
To compare the quotients, you started by estimating the decimals to the nearest whole number:
- 18.2 was rounded to 18.
- 30.3 was rounded to 30.
Next, you performed the division for each expression:
- 18 divided by 2 equals 9.
- 30 divided by 10 equals 3.
Finally, you compared the two results to confirm that 9 is indeed greater than 3.
So, to summarize, your decimal division expressions of 18.2 divided by 2 and 30.3 divided by 10 successfully produce a quotient comparison of 9 being greater than 3. Well done!
