    A simple fraction (also known as a common fraction or vulgar fraction, where vulgar is Latin for "common") is a rational number written as a / b or ⁠ ⁠, where a and b are both integers. [9] As with other fractions, the denominator (b) cannot be zero. Examples include ⁠ 1 2 ⁠, − ⁠ 8 5 ⁠, ⁠ −8 5 ⁠, and ⁠ 8 −5 ⁠.

  3. Drill bit sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_sizes

    For Morse taper-shank drill bits, the standard continues in 1/64 inch increments up to 1¾ inch, then 1/32 inch increments up to 2¼ inch, 1/16 inch increments up to 3 inches, 1/8 inch increments up to 3¼ inches, and a single 1/4 inch increment to 3½ inches. One aspect of this method of sizing is that the size increment between drill bits ...

    Then in the second period by 2/12, in the third by 3/12, in the fourth by 3/12, fifth by 2/12 and at the end of the sixth period reaches its maximum with an increase of 1/12. The steps are 1:2:3:3:2:1 giving a total change of 12/12. Over the next six intervals the quantity reduces in a similar manner by 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1 twelfths.

  5. Farey sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farey_sequence

    In mathematics, the Farey sequence of order n is the sequence of completely reduced fractions, either between 0 and 1, or without this restriction, [a] which when in lowest terms have denominators less than or equal to n, arranged in order of increasing size. With the restricted definition, each Farey sequence starts with the value 0, denoted ...

  6. Odds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odds

    For example, given that there is a pattern of odds of 5/4, 7/4, 9/4 and so on, odds which are mathematically 3/2 are more easily compared if expressed in the equivalent form 6/4. Fractional odds are also known as British odds, UK odds, [9] or, in that country, traditional odds. They are typically represented with a "/" but can also be ...

  7. Time signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature

    Irregular bars are a change in time signature normally for only one bar. Such a bar is most often a bar of 3 4, 5 4 or 2 4 in a 4 4 composition, or a bar of 4 4 in a 3 4 composition, or a bar of 5 8 in a 6 8 composition. If a song is entirely in 4 4 a change to 3 4 will make the song feel like it has skipped a beat, the opposite is true for 5

    In fact, next year's 2.5% bump is higher than the 2010's average COLA of 1.4%, and is similar to the average since 1983 (after the soaring inflation of the preceding decade). What it means for ...

  9. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    For 6/6 = 1.0 acuity, the size of a letter on the Snellen chart or Landolt C chart is a visual angle of 5 arc minutes (1 arc min = 1/60 of a degree), which is a 43 point font at 20 feet. [10] By the design of a typical optotype (like a Snellen E or a Landolt C), the critical gap that needs to be resolved is 1/5 this value, i.e., 1 arc min.
