WHAT is understood by one half, one third, one fourth, one fifth, &c.? ANS. When a number or thing, as a unit or an apple, is divided into two equal parts, each of the parts is called one half; when into three equal parts, each of the parts is called one third; two of the parts are called two thirds, &c. 2. How many halves in 1? 3. How many thirds in 1? 4. If a peach be divided into 2 equal parts, what is each part called? 5. If an orange be divided into 3 equal parts, what are the parts called? 6. How many halves in 4? ANALYSIS. Since in 1 there are 2 halves, in 4 there are 4 times 2 halves, or 8 halves. Therefore there are 8 halves in 4. 7. How many halves in 5? in 6? 8. How many halves in 7? in 7 and 1 half? 9. How many thirds in 3? in 4? in 5? 10. How many thirds in 7? in 8? in 9? 11. How many thirds in 6 and 1 third? in 6 and 2 thirds? 12. How many halves in 5? how many thirds? ANALYSIS. Since in 2 halves there is one whole thing, in 8 halves there are as many whole things as 2, the number of halves in 1, is contained times in 8, which is 4 times. Therefore, in 8 halves there are 4 whole things. |
