Half or Five Tenths? | 半个还是十分之五?

English Original

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.


中文翻译

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。
