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. 　　Let me know if you need further clarification! 😊
