Re: math question
Hi Sarah;
because 5 x 20 = 100. How do you do long division?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: math question
Hi Sarah;
Look at the drawing. How many times does 20 go into 1?

Re: math question
Hi;
That is not right. 20 can not go into 1. 20 is bigger than 1. Do you understand what I am saying?

Re: math question
hi Sarah
If you want to learn how to do division, I suggest you start with what you can do, eg. take aways.
So instead of 100 over 20 how about
"How many 20s can you take from 100 ?"
See picture.
