Subtract another 3/5 from what has remained and count this as having found another 3/5. How much still remains? Enough to keep subtracting 3/5 again? \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, instead of using repeated subtraction to count how many of 3/5 can be found in the number, 10, try something more economical: DIVISION.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide 10 by 3/5. THAT will be how many 3/5 is in 10.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "10÷(3/5)= \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "= \n" ); document.write( "= |
