Explain how the number of pieces in a whole relates to the size of each piece

Mathematics
1 answer:
astra-53 [7]3 years ago
4 0
As the number of pieces in a whole gets larger, the size of the pieces gets smaller. This is represented by the denominator in a fraction. As the denominator increases, the number of pieces the whole is divided into also increases so the size of the pieces is smaller.
1/2 > 1/3 > 1/4 > 1/5 etc...

Fractions get smaller as the denominator gets bigger.

Decide whether the statement is a valid dennltion.
andreyandreev [35.5K]
The prime factors of 6 are 2 and 3. So for a number to be divisible by 6,it must also be divisible by 2 and 3.Therefore,we need to check if a number is even and then check if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3

An identification code is to consist of 3 letters followed by 2 digits. Determine the following
kirill [66]
Well let's see:

The first letter can be any one of 26 .
       For each one . . .
The second letter can be any one of the remaining 25.
       For each one . . .
The third letter can be any one of the remaining 24.
       For each one . . .
The two digits can be any number from 01 to 98 ...
       except 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, or 88.  (No repetition.)
      There are 90 of them.

So the total number of possibilities is    (26 · 25 · 24 · 90) .

When I multiply that out, I get   1,404,000 .

I don't know how you got your number, so I can't comment on your
method, but I did find something interesting about your number:

If I assume that you did the three letters the same way I did, then
if I divide your number by  (26·25·24), the quotient will show me
how you handled the two digits.

                         1,263,600 / (26·25·24)  =  81 .

That's very intriguing, because it's so close to the 90 sets of digits
that I used.  But I don't know what it means, or if it means anything
at all.

How to subtract 4/5 and 3/10 in simplest form
g100num [7]
First you must find a common denominator. In this case 10 will work. You then multiply the top number by whatever you multiplied the bottom number by. This is shown below:
4/5- 3/10 = 8/10- 3/10 
You can now solve this to get 5/10. This answer can then be reduced to 1/2.
