Consider the fraction 1/2, if this fraction is divided by 3, will the quotient be more or less than the quotient in the first part?

Sagot :

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{you must compare 1/2 with 1/2 divided by 3. This las operation is equal to 1/6:} \\ \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{3}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{1}}=\frac{1\cdot1}{2\cdot3}=\frac{1}{6} \\ \text{I did this computation by using the sandwich law. I uploaded the image below} \\ \text{Now we must compare the quotient of 1/2 and the quotient of 1/6} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} as\text{ you can se}e,\text{ the quotient in the division 1/2 is 0.5 } \\ \text{and the quotient in 1/6 is 0.16,} \\ \sin ce\text{ 0.5 }>0.16,\text{ then the quotient in the first part } \\ \text{is larger than the quotient in the second part} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\text{this last image exemplify the "Sandwich law"}[/tex]
