For our skills home work we were assigned some fraction questions. We are expected to solve them and make a post about it.
To find the decimal you have to divide the numerator by the denominator.
2 divided by 3 = 0.6 (repeated)
4 divided by 6 = 0.6 (repeated)
This way the decimals should al
l be equivalent. Lets be sure by looking at this photo.Picture taken by Rayna:P
This picture shows us that the decimals and the fractions are equivalent, but not the same.
Okay so .. our next question is 1/8 and 1/4. Here is the picture for that.
What the picture is showing us it that 1/4 is bigger than 1/8.
You always have to double check though, so to make sure lets figure out the decimal.
1 divided by 4 = 0.25
1 divided by 8 = 0.125
So we found the decimals and prouved that 1/4 is bigger than 1/8.
If the whole is cut into 4 the pieces will be bigger then if you cut the whole into 8 pieces.
