What is bigger 1/4th or 1 5th?

Draw a circle and divide it into 4 equal parts by drawing 2 lines through the centre that intersect at 90 degress. Each slice of the circle is 1/4 of the circle. If you divide the same circle into five equal slices then the slices will be smaller. Hence 1/5 of the circle is smaller than 1/4 of the circle.

Subject: Why is 1/4 bigger than 1/5 Name: Sherry

Who is asking: Student

Level: Elementary Question:

I have to do a math project for my teacher education class. The question that I am working on is why is 1/4 bigger than 1/5. Hi Sherry, I have replies for you from three people.

First from Paul. Answer1:

Dividing by a larger number produces a smaller number. Answer2:

1/4 is the same as 5/20 (multiply top and bottom by 5) 1/5 is the same as 4/20 (multiply top and bottom by 4) Now the denominators (bottom number of a fraction) are the same so the size of the numerator (top number of a fraction) determines the size of the fraction. Answer3: Draw a circle and divide it into 4 equal parts by drawing 2 lines through the centre that intersect at 90 degress. Each slice of the circle is 1/4 of the circle. If you divide the same circle into five equal slices then the slices will be smaller. Hence 1/5 of the circle is smaller than 1/4 of the circle. And then from Claude. My friend's 4 year old son is starting to understand fractions also. Recently he was asked what he gets when cutting a pizza in two and said "halves". Then he was asked what he gets when cutting halves in two and said "quarters". Then he was asked what he gets when cutting quarters in two and said "eights". Then he was asked what he gets when cutting eights in two and said "I don't know", then he tought about it for a while and said "sixteenths". Then he was asked what he gets when putting four quarters together and said "one". Then he was asked what he gets when putting eight eights together and said "I don't know", then he tought about it for a while and said "one". Of course, the ordering of fourths and fifths would have to come a bit later, but my guess is that children can understand elementary facts about fractions early enough if you respect their own pace. Finally from Penny. I would have the children decide themselves by describing a situation such as: Paul and Mary's families each had a regular size pizza for dinner. There are 4 people in Paul's family so he got 1/4 of a pizza. There are 5 people in Mary's family so Mary got 1/5 of a pizza. Who got the larger piece? Why? Cheers,

Why is 4 an unlucky number?

But the number four is considered unlucky because it sounds a lot like the word for “death,” and as a result Chinese buildings often lack a fourth floor (just as American buildings sometimes skip the 13th). Likewise, Chinese drivers avoid license plates ending in four.

bloomberg.com - How Chinese Superstition About the Number 4 Makes Beijing Traffic ...

If you ever find yourself in crippling Beijing traffic, you might want to direct your road rage toward a numerical superstition rather than your fellow drivers. China’s capital has a vehicle plate restriction program that’s intended to decrease congestion and air pollution around the city center. On weekdays, private cars with license plates ending in two digits, zero to nine, can’t drive inside Beijing’s 5th Ring Road from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. So if the pairing for a particular day is 4 and 9, for instance, then drivers with those tail numbers have to find another travel mode in the restricted zone.
