Here's a good way to think about it - fractions are just division, right? So, just like with multiplication, the order doesn't matter. In other words, 3/10 of 1/2 meter is the same as 1/2 of 3/10 of a meter (just like 3 x 2 = 2 x 3).
So what is 1/2 of 3/10? well you could say it is 1.5/10 (divide your 3/10 by 2 to get 1.5/10), OR you could say 3/20 (dividing by 2 in the numerator is the same as multiplying by 2 in the denominator).
So 3/10 of 1/2 of a meter is 3/20 of a meter. 3/20 of 100cm = (100)*3/20.
Well 300/20 = 15 soo 3/20 of a meter is 15cm.
同样地,梁惠王在出兵侵略赵国之前,也向孟子请教过,结果,孟子避开正面的问题,只告诉他周代的先祖——大王(古公亶父)的一段故事。古公亶父原本定居在豳(又作邠),由于政治清明,人民生活非常安乐。后来受到戎狄的侵犯,国人愤慨,要起而对抗。但是古公亶父却不忍心战场上的杀戮,于是忍痛离开自己的乡土、国业,改迁到歧山山下。大多数的豳人,由于爱戴他的德政,也都随他迁居。而后经由季历、文王的发扬光大,各地人民自动前来归附,竟拥有了三分之二的天下。到武王时,很轻易就取代了残暴的纣王,而改国号为周。
司马迁接着说,孔子、孟子他们,并不是不懂得怎样去“阿世苟合”,向时代风气妥协,为了自己本身的现实利益,随便去迎合别人的意见。实在是非不能也,是不肯为也。所以宁可为真理正义穷困受苦,也不愿苟且现实,追求那些功名富贵。因此,他们所讲的那些天理人伦、政治道德的理想,对于现实社会,就好比拿一个方形的塞子,要把它放进一个圆形的孔中一样,彼此都是格格不入的,哪里能够达到救世济人的目的呢?“持方枘而内圆凿,其能入乎?”
随后司马先生又举例:商汤时代,伊尹不得志的时候,为了实现他的理想,想尽办法,去作商汤的厨师。因此受到商汤的赏识,请他当辅相,发展了他的抱负,使商汤成为历史上的名王,他自己也达到实现理想的目的,而名留千古。
又像春秋末期的百里奚一样,在他穷困的时候,只帮着那些赶牛车的人喂牛,混口饭吃。但结果他利用了喂牛的机会,而受到秦缪公的重视,请他当辅相,因此使秦始皇的上代富强起来。
这些过去历史上的人物也不错啊!为什么呢?有理想,有抱负,尚未得志时,不妨将就别人一点,先取得别人的信任,肯与你合作以后,才慢慢地引导他们走上大道。“作先合,然后引之大道。”那也是一种处世的办法啊!
比如像驺衍,他当时的学术、言论、思想,虽然看起来很怪,不合于学问的大道,好像是“语不惊人死不休”,但是他因此受到国际间的重视。所以,这也许是他一种入世处世的方法。他最终的目的,是要引导当时那些执政者,慢慢地走上仁义道德的政治路线。那么,他的用心,也便同伊尹的拿菜铲和百里奚的喂牛一样,都是别有苦心的了!
至于说,究竟是孔子、孟子那种严正的作人处世的态度对呢?还是驺衍他们那种立身处世的方式对呢?碰到这种问题,司马迁往往不下一个肯定的结论,这是很有趣味、也很高深的人生哲学的问题。有矛盾,也有相辅相成的作用。是与非,由读者自己去作答案。司马先生的手法,往往就是如此的高明。把一切正反两面的资料,都放进孟子的传记里,陈列摆设在你的眼前,而且也加上说明。你买了票,参观了这些资料以后,你要的是哪一样,但各取所需,各凭所好了。不过,此中含有真意,不可随便,不可马虎。
附带地再说明一下,他在这篇《孟子荀卿列传》里,最后说到荀子,他有同孟子一样的理想,但是作人处世的方向又同中有异。荀子的晚年,就到了南方的楚国,当了楚国的属地兰陵(山东)地方的首长——兰陵令。后世发展成为世家大族。
人生遭遇,有幸与不幸,虽曰人事,岂非天命哉?虽日天命,岂非人事哉?司马迁又不作肯定的评语,这等于你坐上公共汽车,或在公共场所,往往看到“银钱行李,各自小心”的警语一样有味道。对吗?——《孟子旁通》
what is half of one tenth
Yes a half is bigger tan a tenth. A half =50% and a tenth =10%
That's going to depend on exactly what the '78.4' is. You haven't indicated the units of the 78.4 so there are a great many possible answers. Here are a few of them: -- If the 78.4 is a number of meters, then the nearest tenth of a meter is 78.4 meters. -- If it's 78.4 centimeters, then the nearest tenth of a meter is 0.8 meters. -- If it's 78.4 millimeters, then the nearest tenth of a meter is 0.1 meter. -- If it's 78.4 kilometers, then the nearest tenth of a meter is 78,400 meters. -- If it's 78.4 yards, then the nearest tenth of a meter is 71.7 meters. -- If it's 78.4 feet, then the nearest tenth of a meter is 23.9 meters. -- If it's 78.4 inches, then the nearest tenth of a meter is 2.0 meters. -- If it's 78.4 smoots, then the nearest tenth of a meter is 133.4 meters. -- If it's 78.4 furlongs, then the nearest tenth of a meter is 15,771.6 meters. -- If the 78.4 has no units, then it's just a naked number with no physical significance. It doesn't represent a length, or anything else, and it can't be converted to any metric quantity.
If you are talking about 31.30 meters, then rounding to the nearest tenth of a meter would give you 31.3 meters.
A Decimetre
one-tenth of a half is always one-twentieth. 1/20 of a meter is 5 centimeters.
three fifths
4363m to the nearest tenth of a meter is 4363.0m
7.25 meters
1 km = 1000 meter 1 meter = 0.001 km one tenth of a meter = 0.1 meter = 0.0001 km
One and one-half plus one-tenth equals 1 and six tenths or one and three fifths.
what is half of one tenth
Half of a tenth is 0.05
1 tenth of a cm and 1 thousandth of a meter are equal lengths.
six tenths or three fifths
Three fifths is a tenth part more than a half. -ie Half is 5/10 - 3/5 is 6/10.
Deci means tenth, so decimeter would be a tenth of a meter. Decimeter is smaller then.
