Understanding the concept of a fraction will greatly help you to be able to solve fraction problems. Of course, you'll need to know more rules to do this, but understanding the meaning of a fraction will make learning much easier.

Before you understand the concept of a fraction...

Before we get to the concept of a fraction, let's get to know what it all means.

It is the total amount, it is not shared.

So what is whole, surely complete, incompleten, and in any form will not be allocated.

For example, a whole apple, a cake or a pizza, or even an unopened packet (no matter how many pieces it contains).

This makes it easier to understand what a fraction is.

The concept of a fraction

Of course, the word broken also has other meanings, such as when something breaks, and we are talking about a broken vase, for example.

In mathematics, however, the concept of a fraction means:

The fraction is a certain part of the whole.

So, when we talk about a fraction, we are not talking about the whole, but a part of it.

The easiest way to understand this is to imagine that it is divided in two.break a biscuit. So it is no longer the whole, but a fraction of it.

Let's look at some examples of a fraction: a clove of apple, a slice of cake, a slice of pizza or a few pieces of dragee, if we consider that they are all part of a whole.

I hope the concept of a fraction is now much clearer!
