2. A fraction is part of a whole. It's less
than 1 whole thing, but more than 0. We
use fractions all the time in real life.
Fractions look a little like division
expressions, but they aren't problems to
be solved. They are a way of expressing
an amount. Like numbers, fractions tell
you how much you have of something.
3. a common fraction 2/5
a decimal 0.4
a percentage 40%

5. Lets imagine we have 1 pizza
divided into 8 slices
Say that you take 1 of 8
slices
Say that you take 1/8 of pizza
6. We write that because pizza has
8 slices...
And we are talking about 1
7. What happens if we take 2 slices at a time ?
Now you are taking 2/8 of pizza.
The bottom number 8, stayed the same ,
since the pizza is still divided into same
number of slices .

9. PROPER FRACTIONS
In proper fractions denominator is greater
than numerator .
For example - 4/7 , 2/6 , 5/9 etc .
