So, I haven't posted in a week. Sorry sorry, I've been sick with a pretty bad cold, and it's totally kicking my butt.
Over the class break, we were given a problem to ponder: What is 2/3 divided by 1/4?
Okay, so in order for me to even think about this problem, I had to solve it first. It has been a while since I've done fractions, but I figured it out.
Another way I would have figured out this problem would have been to draw it out on paper. You would see that 1/4 goes into 2/3 evenly twice, but there is a small part that 1/4 can not fit into. However, it is close. You would have 2/3 of that 1/4.
I'm having a tough time conceptually explaining this answer. (That's probably the cold meds.) I' ll try angin .
