What is a fractions used to represent?
Pieces of something that are smaller than the whole thing.
Why tenths are bigger than hundredths?
-- To get tenths, you chop one thing up into 10 pieces. -- To get hundredths, you chop one thing up into 100 pieces. Naturally they have to be smaller than when you only chopped it into 10.
Is o.206 greater than o.214?
0.206 is smaller than 0.214 since 206/1000 is less than 214/1000, in one case you are dividing a thing into 1000 equal parts and taking 206 pieces and in the other case you are dividing the same thing into 1000 equal parts but taking 214 pieces (206 is smaller than 214)
What is larger 750 billionths of a meter or 400 billionths of a meter?
When you divide anything into 750 pieces they will always be smaller than the same thing divided into 400 pieces .... so obviously divided by 400 is BIGGER than divided by 750.
Which is larger a four inch square divided into fifths or sixths?
The size of the square doesn't depend on how many pieces you cut it into. The more pieces it's divided into, the smaller the pieces have to be, but the whole thing is still the same four-inch square. If you could make something bigger by dividing it into more pieces, we'd all be buying steaks and roasts and making ground beef at home.
