अंश छेद
Title: अंश छेद (Fraction Division)
Content: English Solution for an Indian Math Game
Problem Statement
Divide 5 apples equally among 4 friends using only whole apples and fractional parts. Each friend must receive the same amount. How can you do this with the fewest cuts?
Solution
Cut 1 apple into 4 equal parts (each part = 1/4 apple).
Each friend receives:
1 whole apple
1/4 apple (from the cut apple).
Total per friend: ( 1 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} ) apples.
Total apples used: 5 (1 whole + 1 cut into 4).
Key Steps in English
Minimize cuts: Only 1 apple is cut into 4 parts.
Fair distribution: All friends get equal shares of ( \frac{5}{4} ) apples.
Why This Works
Mathematically, ( 5 \div 4 = 1.25 ), which is achieved by combining whole and fractional apples.
Efficient use of cuts ensures no waste.
