Is it possible using the numbers 0-9 to make 5 fractions that are less than 1/2?
Sure.
1/9, 1/8, 1/7, 1/6, and so on
2/5, 2/6, 2/7, 2/8, 2/9
3/7, 3/8, 3/9
4/10
1/9 2/9 3/9 4/9
1/8 1/7 1/6
3/7 3/8 3/9
Im sorry can you do this with using the numbers 0-9 only once each number?
Yes, it is possible to use the numbers 0-9 to make 5 fractions that are less than 1/2. Here's how you can find these fractions:
To make fractions less than 1/2, we need to focus on creating fractions where the numerator is smaller than the denominator.
Step 1: Generate a list of possible numerators and denominators using the numbers 0-9.
Numerator options: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Denominator options: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Step 2: Combine the numerator and denominator to create fractions.
For example, combining numerator 1 with denominator 2 would give us the fraction 1/2, which is not less than 1/2. However, combining numerator 2 with denominator 1 would give us the fraction 2/1, which is greater than 1 and not less than 1/2.
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 for all possible combinations of numerators and denominators.
Here are five combinations that give us fractions less than 1/2:
1. Numerator: 1, Denominator: 3 (Fraction: 1/3)
2. Numerator: 2, Denominator: 3 (Fraction: 2/3)
3. Numerator: 1, Denominator: 4 (Fraction: 1/4)
4. Numerator: 2, Denominator: 4 (Fraction: 2/4 = 1/2)
5. Numerator: 3, Denominator: 4 (Fraction: 3/4)
So, by using the numbers 0-9, we can create 5 fractions that are less than 1/2: 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 2/4 (or 1/2), and 3/4.
