Question

Which has the smaller scale: a map on which 1 inch equals 200 miles a map on which 1 inch equals 100 miles?

Answer 1

A map on which 1 inch equals 200 miles has a smaller scale than a map which 1 inch equals 100 miles. Applying the same concept to a pan of brownies, 1 piece out of 200 pieces would be smaller than 1 piece out of 100.
