I don't know calculus yet and didn't have any idea if my math could fit into some high math calculation and decided to ask if it fits into calculus, so I asked here. I guess the math as it is is as technical as it can be explained. i was just looking for a more technical version of the math...

a = b : this set = this many pieces a % b = c : this set % this many pieces = this many sets c * b = a : this many sets * this many pieces = this set a : c = b : this set % this many sets = this many pieces per set step 1.) a = 8 pieces step 2.) a / 4 pieces per set = 2 sets step 3.) 2...

Thanks for that. I'm still learning the basic of math.

What you quoted "pieces per pie" was from earlier descriptions that I used there to show how dividing fractions fit into the earlier descriptions analogies. I will work on the math some more and see if I can get a better analogy to describe what I tried to describe before. _____________

OK, I have watched more of the mathtutordvd and saw how the fraction makes the fraction smaller, then realized the multiplied fraction when dividing fractions is larger than 1/1, so the multiplication makes the product a larger fraction. Here is the new text below, note I updated the dividing...

And I'm learning from online resources and am self teaching myself using the khanacadamy and mathtutordvd but they don't explain this well enough for me to use a pie analogy.

Here is what I have written down for describing math from multiplication up to dividing fractions, and as you see I can use pies to help describing the math but for dividing fractions I get stuck with how to use a pie analogy. Here is what I have wriote to describe math using pie analogy...

Thanks for the editing tip.

Your right, I added one too many and thought there was only ten.

Thanks.

This is a new one; 64 / 2 = 32 32 / 2 = 16 16 / 2 = 8 8 / 2 = 4 4 / 2 = 2 2 / 2 = 1 1 / 2 = 0.5 0.5 / 2 = 0.25 0.25 / 2 = 0.125 0.125 / 2 = 0.0625 0.0625 / 2 = 0.03125 \frac{64}{2^{10}}

1 / 2 = 0.5 0.5 / 2 = 0.25 0.25 / 2 = 0.125 0.125 / 2 = 0.0625 0.0625 / 2 = 0.03125 What is the algebraic formula for this?

1.) Have the disk with magnets on the outer rim of the disk, and the disk can spin freely. 2.) Have large magnets on the far left and right of the disk that can spin. These are electromagnets that can be turned on and off via electricity. 3.) These large magnets on the far left and right of...

When NobodySpecial first answered I realized I used full stop terminology wrong and I should have just used aperture shape and size and light source description. I was told that if the light source my box is covering, sends collimated light uniformally over the entire covered area. Then the...

Yes, the beam from the pixel is collimated, and the pixel area is uniformally illuminated. So, this means that if the aperture I described takes 20% or the total area on top of the box covering this light source, only 20% brightness will show. Thank you for showing me how to calculate the...
