Why do you say that fractions are the numbers that help us to share?

I guess because fractions represent a PART of the whole number. Let's use a Pizza for an example: You have a WHOLE pizza that you want to cut and share with your friends. How do you know how many pieces you will need to cut it into? By counting yourself and your friends and then dividing the pizza into that many pieces. Assume you and five friends are sharing ONE pizza; you would cut the pizza into six pieces so each will eat one-sixth of the pizza. In this way, fractions represent the numbers that help us share.

Yes. This is because rational and irrational numbers are infinitely dense. Between any two such numbers there are infinitely many numbers and consequently there can be no "next" or consecutive number.
How can Caribbean countries share neighbourliness?
i would say by volenteering to help people in other countries in need.
Where do you use fractions?
we use them in situations that involves going in between numbers! When you're out buying food for a group of people, or sharing something, you'll want to share it equally... So, say you were buying a large pizza for 4, and it cost $10, you'd have to do 10/4 to know the exact amount that each of you is to pay to make it fair...
How do you subtract fractions from whole numbers with dissimilar fractions?
Say you have 5 and 1/10 and you have to add 6 and 3/20, you add the whole numbers, (11) and then convert the 10 of 1/10 to 20 (20/10 is 2), then you have to multiply the 1 by 2 to get 2/20 (equivalent fraction of 1/10). Now you can add the fractions, i.e. 4/20 (or simplified, 1/5). Final answer is 11 and 1/5
What goes into 171 and 160 evenly?
The greatest common factor of these numbers is 1. If it were a composite number, we could say that that number, and all the numbers that divide it evenly, divide these numbers evenly. However, these numbers are relatively prime-that is, the only factor they share is 1.
How do you do simplest form in fractions?
Well, first you find the greatest common factor in both the numerator and denominator that they both share, and then you divide each fraction by that factor. For example: 20/100. The GCF of those numbers is 20. Divide 20 by 20=1. Divide 100 by 20=5. So your answers are 1/5The simlest form is dividing the fraction top and bottom evenley.So say that you have 5 10ths you would divide the 5 and the 10 evenley and get your answer.In fractions instead of saying top and bottom you say numirator and denomitor
What is the equivalent fraction for six sevenths?
6/11 can be written as 60/110 or 600/1100. There are many equivalent fractions. Since the numbers 6 and 11 have only 1 as a common factor, all equivalent fractions will need to have bigger numerators and denominators. That is to say, we cannot reduce it.
