    Whole Numbers and Fractions

    Fractions represent parts of a whole. For example, if a pizza is cut into eight equal pieces and three pieces are eaten, that is represented as 3/8 of the pizza. Similarly, if a cake is to be shared among sixteen people, each person would receive 1/16 of the cake since cutting the whole cake into sixteen equal pieces. Fractions follow the identity property where anything divided by itself is equal to one, so a fraction with an equal numerator and denominator equals one.

    Whole Numbers and Fractions


    For example, if a pizza is cut into eight pieces and you ate three,
    3
    you ate     8 of the pizza.  

    To represent the whole pizza and acknowledge that it was cut

    into eight, equal pieces, you could write

    8
    1 whole pizza  =          8
     
    If you have one whole cake and sixteen people to share it with,
    1
    you will cut the cake so that each piece is     16  , or the cake is cut

    into sixteen equal pieces.

    16
                                       1 cake =  16
     
    It’s as if we are dividing the numerator by the denominator. The
    identity property states that anything multiplied or divided by
    itself equals 1. Hence, an equal numerator and denominator will
    equal 1.
