can every distance be divided into a fraction?

Every length, or distance, can in theory be divided into a fraction, with the Planck length as the denominator.  Any distance smaller than this is meaningless, immeasurably small.\n\nAs to the ball addendum to your question, I suppose the ball could be thought of as never hitting the wall, as it cannot possibly come closer than this length.  In that case, however, the atoms that compose the ball and the wall are at least that far (actually much much further) from one another, yet they create a solid object.  The mechanics of the ball bouncing off the wall do not change because of this implication.\n\nFYI***The Planck length is approximately 10^-20th the size of a PROTON

Multiplying fractions is the same as taking part of the number; for example, if you want half of a half, you multiply 1/2 by 1/2 to get a quarter.  Now suppose you wanted two thirds of a half.  The first thing you need to know is, what is one third of a half?  So, multiply 1/3 by 1/2 to get 1/6.  But you know you want two of those, so you multiply 1/6 by 2.  So you did:\n\n1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6\n1/6 * 2 = 2/6 (or 1/3)\n\nOr, to put it all in one step:\n2/3 * 1/2 = 2/6 (or 1/3)

Not necessarily.  If the answer to a division problem is 7.5, then the answer is 7 and a half (half of what you're dividnig by).\n\nExample- 15 divided by 2 is 7.5, but the remainder in this problem is 1, not 5 (1 is half of 2).

Divide the numerator (top number of the fraction) by the denominator (bottom fraction number) then multiple by 100%

I would like to be able to give you the answer but I don't think I would be doing you a favour.  If you are to get practice in division, it is better for you to work it out on your own.  Does your teacher know that you are getting homework answers here on Yahoo?

Dear Fifth Graders,\n\nI know you might find working with decimals kind of hard, and that dividing one decimal number by a second decimal number must be even harder. But, actually, it is quite easy if yo first convert the decimals to whole numbers.\n\nRule 1: To convert a decimal to a whole number, move the decimal point to the riight until you have a whole number. \n\nFor example: \n2.75 = 275 by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right.\n0.006 = 6 by moving the decimal point 3 places to the right.\n\nRule 2: When you divide one decimal number into another decimal number, you MUST move the decimal point the same number of places for both numbers.\n\nFor example, if you are dividing 2.75 by 0.006, you must move the decimal point 3 places in both numbers so the new problem becomes 2750 divided by 6. So you have changed the division of decimal numbers to division of whole numbers. This is a lot easier, don't you think?\n\nHere's another example: \nDivide .05 by .0001\nHere we have to move the decimal point 4 places to th right.\nThis gives 500 divided by 1 which is just 500. Easy, eh?\n\nRemember that if you have to move the decimal point mor places than there appears to be room for, simply add zerooes to get the necessary number of places. In the example above,\n.05 and .050, and .0500, and .0500000000 are all  the same number. So to move the decimal point 4 places to the right \nfor the number .05, we simply add 2 zeroes making it .0500 and now we can move the decimal point 4 places changing .05 to 500. \n\nHope this helps you to understand decimals better \n\nGood Luck

displacement is the least distance between initial and final point....in this case sqrt.((50*50)+(100*100))=111.80339887498948482045868343656

There are an infinite number of fractions, so a list of common ones is out of the question, because a "common" fraction would involve some sort of average, which would involve division by infinity; an impossibility.\nso, nowhere.

i don't know i don't think it's possible\n\ni tried 1010-10=1000\n\nso u c cant just do it with one straight line

Start with demonstrating the multiplication of fractions through physical models.\n\nSplit a rectangle in half.  That is 1 x 1/2... because you are counting that one thing 1/2 time.\n\nThen split the 1/2 into 1/2.  1/2, counted 1/2 time, is 1/4.  See it?\n\nOK, so... through whole numbers you have already demonstrated (and they should already have shown true comprehension of the idea) that division is the inverse of multiplication. So...\n\n\n1/2 divided by 2/3 is the same as 1/2 x 3/2 because that is the inverse. Division of whole numbers is a reduction of value... division of fractions is an increase of value.\n\nAlso, try this with decimals.\n\n1/10 divided by 4.\n\n1/10 divided by 4/1.\n\n1/10 x 1/4 = 1/40.\n\n1/40 = 0.025.\n\n   ____\n4 |0.1     = 0.025.\n\n25 x 4 = 100\n\n2.5 x 4 = 10.0\n\n.25 x 4 = 1.00\n\n.025 x 4 = 0.100\n\nStart to see the pattern now?

Find every number between 101 and 999 that is divisible by 7 and then add them together.  Hmmm......like I really am going to do that.

This is only possible if it is an improper fration such as 3/2.  Which to simplify would be 1 1/2.

If I understand your question then yes, that's the beauty of fractions.  As helpful as decimals are, they are base-10 meaning that you have 10, 100, 1000, 10000, etc.  But a fraction can use thirds, sevenths, 29ths ....  They are harder to work with but they can represent more numbers because they aren't base ten (think of it like this, 1/3 is an easy fraction, but as a decimal it .333333333333333333 (and goes on forever).

The distance travel is going to be 1/2 mile.   How far away are you are from the beginining of the first 1/4 mile could vary depending on how straight of a line you traveled and which angle you turned once you stopped but the maxium distance can not be greater than 1/2 mile (perfectly striaght line).  So C and D can not be correct.  A and B can be correct.  Being a perfectly straight road is not very possible then A is correct.  But if this is for your math class then most likely B is what the teacher is looking for.

Depends on how far away the wall is, don't you think, and the limits on your methods of measuring "half way"?  Eventually the difference between the distance from the center of the room to the wall and the sum of your moves will be less than your ability to measure.  That's the role of the little epsilon in the theory of limits.  Let the distance, center to wall, be D.  Then\n\nD - [(1/2)D+(1/4)D+...+(1/2^n)D]=(1/2^n)D\n\nWhen you cannot measure (1/2^n)D, you're there, for all practical purposes.\n\nTell a mathematician and an engineer they can approach the naked girl tied to the tree in this fashion [sorry, ladies, but in ancient times engineers were all male].  The mathematician will throw up his hands {so were mathematicians, with a few notable exceptions), saying, "I'll never get there."  The engineer will grin and say, "I'll get close enough."
