Teacher: Would you rather have one half of an orange or five tenths?
Gerald: I'd much rather have the half.
Teacher: Think carefully, and tell me why.
Gerald: Because you lose too much juice when you cut the orange into five tenths.
老师：你愿意要半个橙子，还是要十分之五个橙子？
杰拉尔德：我宁愿要半个。
老师：仔细想想，告诉我为什么。
杰拉尔德：因为如果你把橙子切成十分之五，橙汁会损失太多。
