Carabao Fractions
Before founding the MSC Institute of Technology, I was a hog raiser and plant propagator at Brgy. San Miguel, San Pablo City. I had a neighbor who rented out work carabaos. He thought that female carabaos are poor work animals. “Mahinang humila ang babaeng kalabaw”, he told me. So all his carabaos were males. And he had lots of them. Many were with caretakers who shared the income with him. Whatever savings he had, he used to buy more carabulls.
MSC 6 – Dividing by 2
Dividing a number by 2 is also called halving. Dividing a number by 2 can be simplified by splitting the number into smaller, more manageable parts. It can be done in a step by step fashion to make the procedure easier.
