step 1: make a circle with a compass step 2: divide the circle into 4 equal parts step 3: draw curved lines
Think about a circle. If you divide it into six equal parts, each part is 1/6 of the circle. Now think about a circle that is identical to the first. If you divide that one into eight equal parts, each part is 1/8 of the circle. If you compare the two divided circles, you will see that the 1/8 pieces must be smaller than the 1/6 pieces, because eight pieces are filling the same space as six pieces. Draw this out on paper to prove this to yourself if need be.
Yep, in 1/2 2 is the denominator, and there are 2 equal parts,,, 1 is the numerator which shows 1 of the 2 equal parts
You should clarify whether "1-foot circle" refers to a circle with a radius of 1 foot, a diameter of 1 foot, or a circumference of 1 foot. The circumference of a circle is equal to the diameter times pi (approximately 3.14).
