what is the difference between 4 times as many as 8 and 1/4 as many as 8? Draw a picture to show the difference.
4 times as many as 8 = 8 * 4 = 32
1/4 as many as 8 = 1/4 * 8 = 8/4 = 2
Cannot draw on these posts.
To understand the difference between "4 times as many as 8" and "1/4 as many as 8," let's break down the expressions:
1. "4 times as many as 8": If we have 8 items and we want four times that number, we multiply 8 by 4. So, 4 times as many as 8 is equal to 8 * 4 = 32.
2. "1/4 as many as 8": Here, we want 1/4th of 8. To find this, we multiply 8 by 1/4 or divide it by 4. So, 1/4 as many as 8 is equal to 8 * 1/4 = 2.
Now, let's draw a visual representation to better understand the difference:
---------------------
| 8 |
---------------------
For "4 times as many as 8," we simply multiply 8 by 4:
---------------------
| 8 8 8 8 |
---------------------
And for "1/4 as many as 8," we multiply 8 by 1/4 or divide it by 4:
---------------------
| 2 |
---------------------
In the picture, you can see that "4 times as many as 8" results in a larger quantity (32) compared to "1/4 as many as 8" (2).
