When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number. Why?

1 answer:

8 0

1 can be interpreted as a "whole" thing, and smaller than 1 is a part of a thing.

imagine: if you have some cakes and you count the number of cake pieces, those will be more than the number of cakes: as each cake will have more than one piece! (otherwise it wouldn't be called a piece!)

so the result of a division by a fraction is bigger than the original number, there are more parts than wholes in the results, as each whole has multiple parts!

for example: divide 3 cakes into pieces which are 1/4th of a cake. how many such pieces would there be? 12! more than the 3 original cakes;

is this possible to understand? tell me if not!

$Solution, \frac{-4r}{4}+\frac{5r}{3}=\frac{2r}{3}$

$Steps:$

$\frac{-4r}{4}+\frac{5r}{3}$

$\frac{-4r}{4},\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{b}=-\frac{a}{b},\\-\frac{4r}{4},\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{4}{4}=1,\\-r,\\-r+\frac{5r}{3}$

$\mathrm{Convert\:element\:to\:fraction}:\quad \:r=\frac{r3}{3},\\\frac{5r}{3}-\frac{r\cdot \:3}{3}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c},\\\frac{5r-r\cdot \:3}{3}$

$5r-r\cdot \:3,\\\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:5r-3r=2r,\\\frac{2r}{3}$

$The\:Correct\:Answer\:Is\:\frac{2r}{3}$

$Hope\:This\:Helps!!!$
