When the whole is cut, it becomes a fraction (part of) the whole. For example, if an apple pie is cut into 10 slices, each slice is 1/10th of the whole pie.
In a fraction you are looking at parts of a whole, thus if you think of this as a pie and the lower number as the number of pieces the pie has been cut into. the top number of pieces you intend to remove or work with. thus your query of what does 2/3 equal... If you cut each piece of pie into another equal piece then the answer 4/6 is correct. the denominator is the lower number or the total number of pieces that the pie is cut up into. the numerator is the number of pieces you plan to work with or eat...
5 over 8 can't be a whole number, as it is a fraction, a part of the whole.Slice a pie into 8 pieces. Each piece is an 8th of the whole pie. Only when the pie is whole can it be said to be a whole number - which would be 8. Remove a slice and the pie becomes a fraction.
A fraction is a part of something. For example: a round, flat pie on a plate is 100% of the whole pie. If the pie is cut into ten slices, each slice is a tenth or 1/10 (one over ten) as a fraction of the whole pie. Therefore, 5 slices is 5/10 (five over ten) which is also half of the whole pie.
*READ MY WHOLE ANSWER!* What they are trying to teach you: A "mixed number" is what we call numbers that include at least one WHOLE INTEGER, AND a FRACTION. eg: "One and a half pies" written as a mixed number is "1 1/2" Working out: 7 pies x 8 parts per full pie = 56 pieces in total (each piece is one eighth of a whole pie) 56 total pieces - 37 pieces eaten = 19 pieces left 19 pieces = 2 whole pies and one eighth of a pie remaining (even though they have already been cut up, if there are enough pieces to make up a whole pie {in this case, eight pieces make up one whole}, then it is considered to be a whole pie). Answer: Two full pies, plus one eighth (piece) left over. We express this as a mixed number (a full number with a fraction beside it) as 2 1/8

Think of the whole number as a pie that is going to be eaten by more than one person. Cut it into the necessary number of pieces. That is how you do it.

no because its not a whole number

There are twelve thirds in four wholes.
like pecause of cake but slice of pie mean something that's Easy
whole pie = 8/8 half pie = 4/8 = 2/4 = 1/2
If you cut a whole pie into eight equal pieces one of those pieces is one eighth.
No. Pie is commonly known as 3.14 however pie has a never ending sequence of numbers after the 4
A fraction is a part of something. For example: a round, flat pie on a plate is 100% of the whole pie. If the pie is cut into ten slices, each slice is a tenth or 1/10 (one over ten) as a fraction of the whole pie. Therefore, 5 slices is 5/10 (five over ten) which is also half of the whole pie.
