Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction
4.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :
3p 3p • 3
3p = —— = ——————
1 3
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
