> If you multiply two numbers together, shouldn’t the result be greater than each part? Well, it is. 0.16 is bigger than 0.2 and 0.8, because it has 3 digits instead of 2, and 16 is bigger than 2 and 8. (and 4/25 is obviously bigger than 1/5 and 4/5 too) The problem actually is to (really) understand that the opposite is true. As soon as the denominators are different enough, we can't easily (just by looking at the numbers) compare two fractions like 26551/3690 and 26545/3689 |
