Yes, fractions are used in cooking.

Proportions are ratios. Ratios are fractions. The proportions may be estimated or measured in weight or volume.


Without measuring tools one estimates proportions. An example, use (1:1 or 1/1) equal amounts of water and instant rice when cooking. Use (2:1 or 2/1), twice as much water as rice when cooking rise that is not instant.


With measuring tools one measures the listed measure on recipes.

Why is it important to learn about equivalent fractions?

Answer: When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators it is important to change the denominators into the lowest common denominator by using equivalent fractions. Answer: Equivalent fractions are used to: * Simplify fractions. It is sort of inelegant to write the final solution of a problem as 123/246, when you can just as well write it as 1/2. * Add fractions. If two fractions have different denominators, you need to convert them to equivalent fractions that have the same denominator. Only then can you add. * Subtract fractions (same as addition). * Compare fractions, to check which one is larger (same as addition).
