...how does ``dividing a fraction BY a fraction'' work, anyway?
:15:08
Huh?
:15:15
Okay, dividing two-thirds of an apple by one fourth--that could mean
you divide two thirds of an apple among four people.
:15:21
How many parts of the apple does a person get, right?
:15:31
Huh....? Um...uh-huh.
:15:33
So then, one, two, three, four, five, and six--so one sixth of an
apple for a single person.
:15:44
...wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. That's MULTIPLYING fractions.
:15:49
Huh...? How come? Does a number become smaller when you multiply it?!
:15:53
Two thirds of an apple divided by a quarter means, uh...
:16:02
...it's totally off-track!
:16:06
You can't understand this because you're fussing about apples. You'll
have no trouble if you'd just simply memorize that you leave
multiplication as is and switch in division.

Isn't her sister a member of Takarazuka?
:16:27
``S.K.D.'' [a group of performers, like Takarazuka]
:16:30
Taeko got a ``D'' in math class.
:16:32
Huh, a ``D''?!
:16:33
Right, it's finally gone down to a ``D''.
:16:37
Hmmmm.
:16:42
If her score were 50 or 60%, I could simply reprimand her.
:16:44
That's true...
:16:45
Do you think Taeko ought to have an I.Q. test?
:16:50
But when she entered school, she was diagnosed as ``normal.''
:16:54
Maybe she's turned stupid.
:16:56
When Taeko was a baby, she fell downstairs from the second floor,
remember?
