2. A standard piece is 4' by 8'
5 (unless you cut lengthwise).
27 because a percentage is out of 100 27 out of 100 = 27/100 = 27%, that is we take 27 pieces out of 100 pieces that we divided the whole thing. 27% out of 100 = 27/10000 = 0.27% that is we take 27 pieces out of 10000 pieces that we divided the whole thing.
Yes. Imagine slicing a pie into ten pieces. If you take 9 of the 10 pieces you have nine tenth. If you take 3 of the 10 pieces you have three tenth. Clearly 9 pieces of pie are more than 3. If you are comparing two numbers that are both fractions of tenths, you can just look at the numbers on the top to see what is larger.
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.
