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.
Which is bigger 4 over 11 or 4 over 6?
If you've bought 4 pieces of pie, then you want it cut into the fewest possible number of pieces. Go to the pie that was cut into only 6 pieces, not the one that was cut into 11 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.
What is the adjective in this sentence Can you cut the pie into six pieces?
Six.
Which is more 13.5 or 13.055?
13.5 is higher than 13.055. The .5 is the same as 5 tenths or 5/10. The .055 is the same as 55 one thousandths or 55/1000. Like cutting pie into pieces. If you are hungry u would rather have 5 pieces of a cake cut into ten pieces versus having 55 pieces of a pie cut into 1000 pieces.
