What else can I help you with?
What is a fractions used to represent?
Pieces of something that are smaller than the whole thing.
Why is the product of two fractions smaller than two fractions thet were multiplied?
That's only true if the fractions are "proper" fractions ... with numerator smaller than denominator. The reason is: If you take (a piece less than the whole thing) out of (a piece less than the whole thing), you wind up with a piece smaller than either of the original pieces.
When you divide two fractions is the quotient always smaller than the dividend?
yes
When two fractions refer to the same whole explain why the fraction with a lesser denominator has larger pieces than the fraction with a greater denominator?
The fraction with the smaller denominator has fewer pieces in the whole. So each piece must be bigger.
What does a food processer do?
Cuts it up into smaller pieces... the more intensity you use, the smaller the pieces.
What are equvalent fractions?
Fractions that are the same or have the same amount of pieces like 1/2 is equal to 2/4
Do smaller pieces of a solute will not dissolve as quickly as larger pieces?
Smaller pieces of a solute will dissolve more quickly than larger pieces. This is because the surface area of the smaller pieces is greater, allowing for more contact with the solvent and therefore faster dissolution.
Which is larger two fifths or three fifths?
Three fifths.Any time you are dealing with like fractions (that is, the bottom number, or denominator, is the same) then the numerator (top number) will determine which is larger, since you are dealing with pieces of the same size. For example, 3/12 is smaller than 9/12, and 7/8 is larger than 3/8.The only time there is really a question of which is larger or smaller is when you are dealing with unlike fractions, which then must be converted to like fractions and thus the comparison becomes clear. For example, "Which is larger, 3/4 or 3/6?" At a glance you should be able to tell that 3/4 is larger, since in this case we are dealing with the same number of pieces, but fourths are larger (in fractions, the larger the denominator, the smaller the piece). However, technically these should be converted to like fractions. Since 12 is the Least Common Denominator between these two fractions, we would convert both to twelfths: 3/4 = 9/12 and 3/6 = 6/12. So now the question becomes, "Which is larger, 9/12 or 6/12?" which can be easily answered -- 9/12 or (in lowest terms) 3/4.* The bottom number of a fraction is called a denominator. It denotes how many pieces into which the whole has been divided (thus the more pieces, the smaller each piece). * The top number of a fraction is called the numerator. It denotes how many pieces of the whole you have.* Like fractions have the same denominator. They can easily be compared, added or subtracted as is (you add or subtract only the numerators). * Unlike fractions (where the denominator is different) must be converted into like fractions (using the Least Common Denominator) and then can be added, subtracted or compared easily. (Although they can be multiplied or divided without conversion.)
How can you cut a pie into eighteen equal pieces?
use math and divide 360 by 18
The first step in cooling a large roast before refrigerating is to?
cut the roast into smaller pieces
What process breaks solid rock into smaller pieces?
Weathering and erosion breaks rocks into smaller pieces.
Is a fifth less than a third?
yes. In fractions, the higher the number under the number one, the lower the mass it represents. Example: if you cut a cake in 5 pieces and the same cake is cut in 3, the one cut in 5 will have smaller pieces than the one cut in 3
