Fractions
A fraction is part of a whole. It is less than one. Lets see. If we buy one pizza and cut it into four equal bits. Each bit will be one quarter of the entire pizza.

Jonathon was not hungry so he asked Stephen to put red wrapping around two quarters of the pizza and save it for later. Stephen complained to Jonathon that he was wrapping half the pizza, but Jonathon said it is only two quarters.

Is two quarters of a pizza really half a pizza? YES!

Stephen decides to buy another pizza but this time he cuts it into six equal portions. Jonathon asks Stephen to wrap three portions. Since the portions are smaller, three portions will be less than two quarters.Right? Wrong!

Look at the animations on the right.
So you see two quarters and three sixths both are actually one half. Fractions can sometimes look different but have the same value, as shown on the right.
