Did you know that when you divide two numbers, you can also think of it as finding out how many times one number fits into another? In this case, means asking how many times 48 can fit into 24. Since 48 is larger than 24, it fits in 0 times, leading us to a result of when expressed as a decimal — half of 48 equals 24!

Fun fact: Dividing a smaller number by a larger one will always yield a fraction or decimal less than 1! So while it may seem like dividing 24 by 48 is a little puzzling, just remember it’s all about comparing sizes. In math, there’s always something fun waiting to be discovered!
