Question

if i cut an apple into 4 i get 1/4 pieces. if 1/4 is cut into half each i get 1/8 pieces. if 1/5 is cut into 1/2 each how many pieces do i get?

Answer 1

1/4 x 1 = 1/4

If you cut the 1 apple into 1/4, you will get 1/4 of the 1 piece, which is 1/4

.

1/2 of 1/4 = 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8

If you cut the 1/4 piece into 1/2, you will get 1/2 of the 1/4 piece, which is 1/8

.

1/2 of 1/5 = 1/2 x 1/5 = 1/10

If you cut the 1/5 piece into 1/2, you will get 1/2 of the 1/5 piece, which is 1/10
