Imagine a pie or Pizza, cut it in half, now you have 2 equal parts. Each is 1/2. If you put them together, you have 1 whole (pie or pizza) same concept if you cut it into 6 pieces, then put back together. Each of those parts is 1/6. All 6 together is 6/6 or 1 (essentially the same, we use 1 to simplify) obviously you can make 1 whole into as many parts as you like, for example 10, each of those would be 1/10 and 10/10 (or 10 together) make 1. The bottom number tells you size of increment or how small the part is in a fraction, i.e. how many of those make 1 whole. when they match like 10/10 you have a whole. If you see something like 20/10 that would simplify to 2.
