Answer :
To determine whether [tex]181 \, \text{mL} \div 4[/tex] is greater or less than 200 mL, we need to perform the division.
First, divide 181 mL by 4:
[tex]\frac{181}{4} = 45.25 \, \text{mL}[/tex]
Now, compare 45.25 mL to 200 mL:
- 45.25 mL is indeed less than 200 mL.
Therefore, the result of [tex]181 \, \text{mL} \div 4[/tex] is less than 200 mL.
Breaking it down step-by-step:
- Division: We divided 181 mL by 4 to get 45.25 mL.
- Comparison: Since 45.25 is a smaller number than 200, the division result is less than 200 mL.
This understanding aligns with basic arithmetic principles where division typically results in a smaller value if the divisor is more than 1 (and both numbers are positive).
