Does one third equal one eighth?
One third is a lot bigger than one eighth. Imagine you have two pieces of string that are exactly the same length. You cut one into three equal pieces. Each piece is one third of the original string. Say you take the other sting and cut into eight equal pieces. Each of those pieces is one eighth... and they are much smaller because there are so many more of them.
Why is one third greater than one fourth?
When something is cut into equal pieces, (think of a pie), the pieces are larger the fewer pieces there are. If the pie is cut in half, that is an entire HALF of the pie one has to eat. But if the pie is cut into three equal pieces, there are more pieces, but they are smaller. So, one fourth of the pie would be even smaller because you are getting ONE piece of a pie that is cut into FOUR pieces. The bottom number of the fraction is how many equal sized pieces there are, and the top number is how many you are getting.
What does one fifth mean?
1 fifth is one equal piece of a whole that was divided into 5 equal pieces.
What does halved in math mean?
It means "cut in two equal pieces and one of the pieces put aside".
Why are fourths bigger than tenths?
Fourths are much bigger than tenths. They are so much bigger that it only takes FOUR of them to make one whole something. Tenths are smaller; it takes TEN of them to make the same whole something. Make 2 identical strawberry rhubarb pies. Cut one into FOUR equal pieces. Cut the other into TEN equal pieces. If you give out a piece from the one cut into 4 pieces, and a piece from the one cut into 10 pieces, which piece will be larger? The first pie is cut into fourths, and the second is cut into tenths.
What makes one half?
Something split into two equal pieces.
What is One one hundredth of a gram?
One one-hundredth of a gram is 1/100g or 0.01g. That is, if you divided a gram into 100 equal pieces, each one of the pieces is 0.01g
How long is a nanosecond?
Not very ;-). A nanosecond is one billionth of a second, which is 0.000,000,001 s. Written in engineering notation, that's 1E-9 s. Think of it this way: Take one second, and chop it up into one thousand equal pieces. Now, take One of Those milliseconds; chop It up into one thousand equal pieces. Now, take One of Those microseconds; chop It up into one thousand equal pieces. One of those pieces is a nanosecond! Light travels about one foot in that amount of time.
Is 2 a bigger denominator than 4?
yes. 1/2 is bigger than 1/4 because if you got 2 pizzas of the same size and cut one in 2 equal pieces and you cut the other in 4 equal pieces, the pizza with 2 equal pieces would have larger pieces than the pizza with 4 equal pieces. do you understand? i hope i helped. ☺
How much gram equal to one gram?
One gram is equal to one gram.
Which one is smaller 1 out of 5 or 1 out of 10?
1/10 which is 1 out of ten, Think of breaking ten into 10 small equal size pieces and 5 into 5 equal size pieces. The pieces of 10 are smaller
Is one third equivalent to one ninth?
No. One third is 1/3 and one ninth is 1/9. A ninth is much smaller, three thirds is equal to one ninth - 3/9=1/3. Another way to look at it is like a pie. If you cut one pie into three pieces and one pie into nine and took a piece from each. The piece that you took from the pie cut into three would be much bigger, and equal to three pieces of the pie you cut into nine.
