Example: Divide 3 loaves between 5 people First, divide two of the loaves into thirds..... each person gets one-third wach, with one third left over 1/3 Then divide the left-over third from the second loaf into fifths So, each person gets: 1/5 and the third loaf into fifths each person gets a slice (one fifteenth) 1/15 each person gets one-fifth each I ITT TI 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 Example: 924 TIIT = 9 2 If a collection of balls are arranged in rows of 3, there is one ball left over 000 9 If arranged in rows of 5, there are two balls left over If arranged in rows of 7, there are three balls left ove The Chinese Remainder Theorem proves that the smallest number of balls must be 52 The Egyptians used the approximated process to work on the area of a circle as shown in the picture. 1.4 Show the representation of the fractions on the second row.

(2) In this picture, there are 52 balls, - when 52 is divided in 3, there are 17 rows and 1 ball remained (52 ÷ 3 = 17 remainder 1) - when 52 is divided in 5, there are 10 rows and 2 balls remained (52 +5 = 10 remainder 2) - when 52 is divided in 7, there are 17 rows and 1 ball remained (52 ÷ 7 = 7 remainder 3) 1.7 When 72 is divided by 8, - how many rows will there be? (1) (1) - how many balls remain? - Write the representation of the second illustration as multiplication. Be mindful of the representation of the rows and the column as you write the multiplication representation. (1)​

In the given example, we are dividing 3 loaves of bread between 5 people. Let's go through the steps:

1. Divide two of the loaves into thirds: Each person gets one-third, and there is one-third left over.
2. Divide the leftover third from the second loaf into fifths: Each person gets one-fifth, and there is one-fifteenth left over.
3. Divide the third loaf into fifths: Each person gets one-fifth.

So, the final distribution is:
- Each person gets one-third of two loaves.
- Each person gets one-fifth of the third loaf.

Now, let's answer the questions:

1. Representation of fractions on the second row: The second row represents one-third and one-fifth.
2. Algorithm/abstract strategy for justifying 3/5 as the answer: The algorithm shows that each person gets one-fifth of the third loaf, resulting in 3/5 for each person.
3. Chinese numbering system representation of the number 7,429: To represent 7,429 using the Chinese numbering system symbols, it would be written as 万7千4百2十9.

Lastly, for the question about dividing 72 by 8:
- The number of rows will be 9 (72 divided by 8).
- The number of balls remaining will be 0 (no remainder).

The multiplication representation for the second illustration would depend on the specific numbers and arrangement of rows and columns given in the illustration.
