In your example you have 40 pizzas in 0.8 bags, to find out how many are in 1 you need an additional 0.2 bags which woud fit 10 pizzas with that pizza density so a full bag would have 50.

40 is what you have and could fit in 0.8 bags, or 80% of a bag. Dividing by 0.8 will give you 50, the result that you could fit in one bag.

Division is simply just the inverse operation of multiplication. If you divide pizza by bag, then you get the pizzas per bag unit. Multiple things can be described with this unit.

When you divide 40 bags by 0.8 pizzas, you don't end up with 50 pizzas. You end up with 50 pizzas per bag (50 p/b or 50 pb^-1). It describes the pizza density and not the actual amount of pizza you have.

> But if you want to divide 40 pizzas into 0.8 of a bag then fewer than 40 pizzas would fit into 0.8 of a bag. But the answer to 40/0.8 = 50.
I don't understand how 50 pizzas would go into 0.8 of a bag when a 1 bag would only take 40 pizzas.

I forgot to mention this, but you are doing this operation incorrectly. Sharing is using division as usual. What went wrong here is you doing sharing as usual when describing the capacity of a bag, which doesn't make sense.

The capacity of a bag can be described as pizzas per bag. If you want to get rid of the "per bag", then you have to multiply by bags to cancel out the "per bag".

So you have 0.8 bags, and bags have a capacity of 40 pizzas per bag. To get the amount of pizzas you can store, you multiply by your bags, which is 0.8 bags. 0.8 bags * 40 pizzas per bag = 32 pizzas.

Well then why are you trying to imagine a logically impossible scenario to understand division. It's clear bags are an integer, they're not continuous, so the problem breaks when you're trying to treat it as continuous when it's just discrete.

Lets imagine a scenario where we have a continuous quantity for our divisor. This will be the heat capacity. Heat capacity is a unit that describes how much thermal energy something has based on its temperature. It can be described as the amount of thermal energy required to heat that thing by a given unit. Think of it like heating a glass of water versus heating an entire bathtub of water. We will use the joule for our unit of energy and Kelvin for our unit of temperature. The heat capacity will then have the unit joules per Kelvin.

Alright so lets have 2,000 joules of energy. Lets fit that into something that has a heat capacity of 1,000 joules per Kelvin. What we want is to find the temperature of that thing. This means we want our answer to have the unit in Kelvin. To do this, we have 2,000 Joules, then we divide by the heat capacity, 1,000 Joules per Kelvin. 2,000 J / (1,000 J/K). 2,000/1,000 is 2. The (J/K) is in the divisor so it's the same as multiplying by K/J. 2 J * K / J simplifies to 2 K. 2 Kelvin.

If we halve the heat capacity by halving the amount of substance we're applying heat to, then we're fitting the same amount of energy to half the substance, so that temperature doubles.

Think of the result of division not as "pizzas" but "pizzas per bag". Pizzas, bags, and "pizzas per bag" are all different kinds of stuff, much like dogs are different from motorcycles or canadian dollars.

If you divide 40 pizzas into 1 bag, you get 40 pizzas/bag, not 40 pizzas.
If you divide 40 pizzas into 2 bags, you get 20 pizzas/bag.
Then if you divide 40 pizzas into 0.8 bags, you get some X pizzas/bag, such that if you multiply X pizzas/bag by 0.8 bags, you get the 40 pizzas you started with.

40 pizza in 2 bags means that there will be 20 pizzas in 1 bag. The point YOU are trying to see is
>How many pizzas will go into ONE entire bag
So 40/.8, how are you supposed to see this? It's the same thing, "How many pizzas will go into ONE entire bag?" Well .8 is just 4/5. Take a bag, and separate it into 5 parts. For the first 4 parts, you take your 40 pizzas divided it evenly between the, which means each part gets 10 pizzas. Once again, the question is asking "How many pizzas will go into ONE entire bag?". If each part of the bag only holds 10 pizzas, and you have 5 parts of the bag, overall the bag will get 10 * 5 = 50 pizzas.

Thus, 40 pizzas for .8 bags means that 50 pizzas are going into one entire bag.

A similar example: You have 4 pizzas to divide into .8=4/5 of a bag - how many pizzas will fit into a single entire bag? Once again, you take a bag, divide it into 5. For the first 4 parts, each gets a pizza. Thus, the entire bag can hold 5 pizzas, so 4 / .8 = 5

>>16464947
0.8 = 8/10
40 / 0.8 = 40 / (8 / 10)
So you can say, if 40 pizzas fit in a bag 8/10 full, how many fit in a full bag?
Then you should say that we need 10/8 times more pizzas to fill the bag, so 40 * 10/8 = 400/8 = 50 pizzas to fill a full bag
