- Fractions represent equal parts of a whole or a collection. Fraction of a whole: When we divide a whole into equal parts, each part is a fraction of the whole. For example, Fraction of a collection: Fractions also represent parts of a set or collection
For example,
- There are total of 5 children.
- 3 out of 5 are girls. So, the fraction of girls is three-fifths ( 3⁄5 ).
- 2 out of 5 are boys. So, the fraction of boys is two-fifths ( 2⁄5 ).
