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 is a fraction equal to two thirds that has a denominator of six?
In a fraction you are looking at parts of a whole, thus if you think of this as a pie and the lower number as the number of pieces the pie has been cut into. the top number of pieces you intend to remove or work with. thus your query of what does 2/3 equal... If you cut each piece of pie into another equal piece then the answer 4/6 is correct. the denominator is the lower number or the total number of pieces that the pie is cut up into. the numerator is the number of pieces you plan to work with or eat...
How meany pieces do you cut a pie into if you bisect it?
It is 2 pieces
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.
How do you fine equivalent fractions?
The best way to think about equivalent fractions is that they are fractions that have the same overall value. Equivalent fractions represent the same part of a whole. For example, if we cut a pie exactly down the middle, into two equally sized pieces, one piece is the same as one half of the pie. And if another pie (the same size) is cut into 4 equal pieces, then two pieces of that pie represent the same amount of pie that 1/2 did. So we can say that 1/2 is equivalent (or equal) to 2/4.
How do you cut a pie evenly into seven pieces?
It is not possible to cut a pie into seven pieces of equal area. Eight pieces and six pieces can both readily be done.

Why is 4 tenths not equal to 4 hundredths?
Imagine that you have a pie. If you cut that pie into 10 equal pieces and take four of them, it will be a lot more pie that if you cut the pie into 100 equal pieces and take four of them. If you cut the pie into 10 pieces, each piece is a tenth of the pie. If you cut the pie into one hundred pieces, each piece will be a hundredth of the pie. You can really only tell which fraction is greater when they have the same denominator. 4/10 = 40/100. That's ten times greater than 4/100
How much is one eighth of a pie?
If you cut a whole pie into eight equal pieces one of those pieces is one eighth.
What is 1 quarter of a pie?

How do you cut pie to 8 equal parts in 3 moves?
Cut down the middle, top to bottom. Cut across the middle, side to side. Now you have 4 equal pieces. Put the pieces in a stack, on top of one another and cut down the middle.
What is cut diameter?
To cut across the diameter is to bi-sect a circle directly in half...thru the middle...two equal "pie" pieces
How meany pieces do you cut a pie into if you bisect it?

Bart brought a blueberry pie to a family reunion and it was cut into equal pieces At the end of the reunion 37.5 percent of it was eaten Which of these shows Bart's pie at the end of the reunion?
The one with 3 out of 8 pieces eaten.
What does a quarter of 12 mean?
You start of with a whole pie and if you cut in two equal pieces you have two half pies. If you cut the two half pie pieces in half you end up with 4 equal pieces of the original pie and these are called quarters. So to get a half you divide by 2 To get a quarter you divide by 4 Thus 12/4 = 3 or 4*3=12 Thus a quarter of 12 is 3.
