My boyfriend remembers laughing at the pictures in the book whe he was little. But he doesn't remember the title. I wanted to get it for him. I believe that the story goes something like - when mother and child were picking berries, a mother bear and baby bear were too. The cub got distracted and so did the child they ended up follow the others' mom home.

When you divide 7 by 5, you get an answer of 1 with a remainder of 2 (1 R 2). When you divide 9 by 7, you get 1 R 2. Since the answers are the same for the two problems, the transitive property of equality would allow us to say that seven divided by 5 is equivalent to 9 divided by 7. We know that is not true because one gives a decimal answer of 1.4 and the other gives a decimal answer of 1.285714 . What is wrong?
