Help please? - how to use division

[cloakedrider]

If I'm currently in the forest and I have 3 acorns and i want to hand them to 7 people with an equal colour and shape, then is the correct caluclation?

1 divided by 0.7 which collects into the amount of how many sense similes there are for each base-pair hand.

This is 1 means the object, and 0.7 means i cut into the object and cut 7 equal pieces 7 different locations.

so then

0.7 splits my one acorn into sevenpiece WITH NO LEFT-OVERS. Is this correct?


If not how do I simply type the equation I want 7 pieces from each acorn with NO-LEFT-OVERS? I

iF NO THEN IT MEANS 0.7 IS 0.7 10ths out of ten.
0.3 is always a remainder when i cut into my acon so how do i split the acorn into 7 pieces without any leftovers on the calculator?1 divided by 7 is the same as 0.7 because it is 7 out pieces out of ten equivalent, but to know how to cut and show ive cut 7 out of 7 pieces

How can 1 divided by 0.7 also = 1.42857142857 if 1 is a whole, and I divided it after it split which is indicated by the 0 which means to cut, into 7 pieces?
i've made the acorn bigger, because i've got a larger number, it's gone into 1.42?

it should at least be 0.428

I feel like you're posting an incomplete question. Would you please show the original question? What do hands, objects, colour, shape, and location have to split up the acorns?
Are you trying to calculate how resources you needed to collect three acorns given you have seven people; or
You have three acorns and how to split the acorn evenly among seven people?

How can 1 divided by 0.7 also = 1.42857142857 if 1 is a whole, and I divided it after it split which is indicated by the 0 which means to cut, into 7 pieces?

[math]\frac{1}{0.7}=\frac{1}{\frac{7}{10}}=\frac{10}{7}\approx1.4286[/math]

Clearly this is a fictional problem. Seven people with identical color and shapes. Can you give me a real-life example of any such group of people?

If you are trying to apply mathematics to the real world, it is impossible to divide three acorns among seven people equally. If you destroy the integrity of an acorn, it may have less potential to develop into an oak. Thus, are three thirds of an acorn truly equivalent to one acorns? Moreover, what is your physical procedure to ensure that you can divide an arbitrary acorn into three exactly equivalent fragments?

God created the non-negative integers. Everything else is a drug dream of the human mind.
