unequally

Everyday

Not in equal amounts or shares; some parts are bigger than others. tree →

In the lessons

in a sharing problem, the parts are not the same size, though the whole stays the same

Examples

• The sweets were shared unequally. tree →
• Ten sweets split unequally: seven for one child, three for another. tree →
• The work was divided unequally. tree →

Note

Unequal shares do not give equal groups, so the total stays the same but each part differs.
