Why is 6018 divided by 12.1 smaller than 6018 divided by 12?
Try it with easier numbers. 12 divided by 4 = 3, 12 divided by 3 = 4 Dividing by a larger number gives a smaller result.
You know today that atoms CANNOT be divided into smaller parts?
false. atoms can be divided into smaller parts
Explain why 2 tenths is larger than 2 hundredth?
I can but try. 2 tenths is 2 divided into 10 parts. 2 hundredths is 2 divided into 100 parts. Since the latter is "chopped up" into more parts, each part is smaller.
What are smaller parts into which a biosphere may be divided?
ecosystems
What are all the lands in the world?
The larger parts are called continents, the smaller parts are called islands.
What fraction is largest?
If you mean from a given list of fractions, without giving those fractions we cannot say.To do it yourself:In any fraction:the denominator (bottom number) tells you how many parts make up a whole;the numerator (top number) tells you how many parts (of the given denominator) there are.In general:the smaller the denominator the larger the fractionThe denominator tells you how many parts make up one whole, so the less parts there are, the larger each part must be and thus the larger the fraction will be (for a given numerator). the larger the numerator (top number) the larger the fractionThe numerator tells you how many of the parts there are, so the more parts there are, the larger the fraction will be (for a given denominator) This can be used to find out whether fractions are larger or smaller than other ones.Examples:1/4, 1/2, 1/5when divided into 4 parts each part is smaller than when divided into 2 parts, but larger than when divided into 5 parts, thus: 1/2 > 1/4 > 1/55/7, 3/7, 4/7when the parts are the same size and there are 5 parts there is more than when there are 3 or 4 parts; when there are 3 parts, there is less than when there are 4 parts, thus: 5/7 > 4/7 > 3/71/2, 3/4, 5/7When the denominators are different sizes, it's not so obvious which is larger. However, by splitting the parts into smaller parts so that the total number of parts in each fraction is the same (ie making them into equivalent fractions with the same denominator), then a comparison of how many of the new parts there are (their numerators) can be made: 1/2 each part split into 14 smaller parts gives 14/283/4 each part split into 7 smaller parts gives 21/285/7 each part split into 4 smaller parts gives 20/2814 parts are less than 21 and 20 parts; 21 parts are more than 20 parts, thus:21/28 > 20/28 > 14/28or using the original fractions:3/4 > 5/7 > 1/2
What is split time?
A split time is the total time of a race divided into smaller parts. This is generally divided into miles.
Which has larger parts a four-inch square divided into fifths or a four-inch square divided into sixths?
The size of the whole thing doesn't matter. If you cut it into more pieces, then each piece has to be smaller. And if you cut it into fewer pieces, than the pieces are bigger.
Why do the parts of a whole get smaller when the denominator increaces and larger when the numerator increaces?
You have to view fractions as division problems: to convert a fraction to a decimal, you divide the numerator by the denominator. As such, when you increase the denominator, you are dividing by a larger value, so your quotient will be smaller. For example, if you have the fraction 1/10, 1 divided by 10 is 0.1. If you have the fraction 1/100, 1 divided by 100 is 0.01. When you increase the numerator, this pattern reverses. 1/10, 1 divided by 10, is 0.1. 10/10, 10 divided by 10, is 1.
What is advantages and disadvantages of a handhel computer?
Pros:PortabilityCons:Cost (for smaller parts)Speed (not enough room or power for larger, more efficient parts)
Which of these are pie charts most useful for showing?

How do the circles represent the different parts of an atom?
They don't, unless you mean the smaller ones on the larger ones. The larger, uncoloured circles represent the orbital paths of the electrons of the atoms. The smaller, coloured circles represent the different parts of the atom, like the protons, neutrons, and electrons.
