This math problem is somewhat tricky.

Question

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?

Answer 1

looks good to me.

but why did you not just write 30.3/10 ?

Answer 2

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.
