Fractional Volume of an extraction solvent

Fractional Volume of an extraction solvent is a fraction of the optimum volume of the extraction solvent obtained by dividing the optimum volume of the extraction solvent needed to extract all of the desired solute from a given mass of the solid material into equal smaller volumes for use in separate extraction cycles

If 100ml of an extraction solvent is the optimum volume that would extract all the herbal solute from a medicinal herb, then 100ml/2 gives a fractional volume of an extraction solvent of 50ml, 100ml/3 gives a fraxtional volume of an extraction solvent of 33.333ml

100ml/4 gives a fraxtional volume of an extraction solvent of 25ml,
1/5 x 100 ml gives a fraxtional volume of an extraction solvent of 20ml.

Using fractional volumes of an extraction solvent for extraction purposes gives better extraction yields than using the optimum volume of an extraction solvent as a whole.

thornton fractional south high school

Also known locally as "TF Shitty," TFSouth high school is a small garbage institue in Lansing, Illinois. Illegal activity is minimal, as is the white population. The teachers either care too little or too much.

There's a 3D printer in that weird lab in the 500 hallway? And the water fountains still taste like rust and pneumonia...TF Shitty, am I right?

*Rebel Recognition Voice* "Good afternoon, Thornton Fractional South High School staff and students..."

Cross Multiplication In Fractions

Cross Multiplication In Fractions Is Needed When You Want To Add Or Subtract Unlike Fractions, So Cross Multiplication In Fractions Is When You Multiply A Fractions Numerator And Denominator With The Other Fractions Denominator

Cross Multiplication In Fractions : 5/10 - 10/50 = 5x50=250, 10x10=100, 10x50=500, 50x10=500, 250/500 - 100/500 = 150/500.

Science-Fraction

The almost impossible ability to separate facts from fiction due to the tiny amount of probable truth we as humans today... have obtained.

The older I get, the more I see SCIENCE-FRACTION as a sad condition. Until we can find more absolute science... it’s often just guessing.

Fractional Genocide

The act of murdering the fractions in an equation by multiplying by a common denominator.

Mr. Nolan: Alright, so we hate these fractions in this equation, so let's kill them. This is Fractional Genocide.

decimal fraction

Used in a minority of countries to pretend the presence of a metric system, when in fact a non-metric system is used. Instead of using a designated smaller unit or real fraction, the bigger unit is used with a decimal point.

More often used in combination with the decimal system to describe numbers that are not even.

Geoff: “It’m 6 feet and 5 inches tall.”

Heidi: “uh… I only know the metric system.”

Geoff: “Oh, sorry. That’s 6 5/12 feet.”

Heidi: “That’s a real fraction, not metric, though.”

Geoff: “Oh right. I mean 6.42 feet.”

Heidi: “OK, that’s a decimal fraction alright, but still not metric 🤣”
Geoff: “Hey Siri, what’s 6 feet and 5 inches in metric?”
Siri: “6 feet, 5 inches is equivalent to about 1.96 meters.”

fractional task

The opposite of multi-tasking. When one is only capable of focusing on part of one or multiple tasks at any given moment.

Wow! Your multi-tasking skills are on point! I can only fractional task.

I was fractional tasking all day and got 7 different things partially done.
