/4/ over /6/ means # 4/6 ; a fraction. As a fraction ot also means '4' is divided by '6'. So set up adivision bracket. 6 ) 4.000000...... ( Note the decimal pointy and the 'string of zeroes'. We say '6' into '4' , won't go, so '0' in the answer. 6)4.00000..... = 0. We now read the division as 6)40.0000...... = 0. We say '6' into '40' goes '6' times with a remainder of '4' Hence the answer becomes 6)40.00000 ....= 0.6.. The remainder '4' is places against the next '0' to read '40'. ( NOT 4+0) Again, we say '6' into '40' goes '6' times with a remainder of '4' Hence the answer becomes 6)4.00000.... = 0.66 ... Repeat the process until there is no remainder. You will find in this case , that it repeats to infinity. So the answer will be 6)4.0000 ..... = 0.6666.... NB The three or more 'dots' to the right of the last number indicate to mathematicians that the number ' recurs to infinity '. Hence the answer becomes
6 over 4 is the same as 21 over 14 because if you set it up as a proportion and do 6*14 and 21*4 it would equal the same thing (which would be 84)
No, the fractions 2 over 3, and 2 over 6 the same? No, they are not the same. 2 over 6 is the same as 1 over 3. 2 over 3 is the same as 4 over 6. Smile.
Yes, it is. 6/21 =2/7 =4/14
it is 6 over 8 9 over 12 just multiply 3 by something and do the same to the 4
6/12 is the same as 3/4 or 2/6 or 1/3
1/2 and 4/6 same as 3/6 and 4/6 You decide
4 over 6 6 over 9 8 over 12
5/6 ( 2/3 is the same as 4/6 )
3/4 is greater than 6/12 which is the same as 1/2
3/4 or 75%
(2/3)/(4/6) is the same as (2/3)/(2/3) and the answer is 1
