Imagine that you have a pie. If you cut that pie into 10 equal pieces and take four of them, it will be a lot more pie that if you cut the pie into 100 equal pieces and take four of them. If you cut the pie into 10 pieces, each piece is a tenth of the pie. If you cut the pie into one hundred pieces, each piece will be a hundredth of the pie. You can really only tell which fraction is greater when they have the same denominator. 4/10 = 40/100. That's ten times greater than 4/100
If you cut a whole pie into eight equal pieces one of those pieces is one eighth.
it isnt.in %, one fourth is 25%, one third is 33.33....%another answerOne fourth is less than one third.Think of it this way: If you cut a pie into three equal parts and eat one part, you'll eat more pie than if you cut the pie into four parts and you ate one part.You could also imagine three people eating a whole pie and four people eating a whole pie. The group of three would each be able to enjoy a larger piece.
Two, four, five or 10 people could each have equal parts of the pie.
You start of with a whole pie and if you cut in two equal pieces you have two half pies. If you cut the two half pie pieces in half you end up with 4 equal pieces of the original pie and these are called quarters. So to get a half you divide by 2 To get a quarter you divide by 4 Thus 12/4 = 3 or 4*3=12 Thus a quarter of 12 is 3.
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.
There are eight equal parts.

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...
Cut a pie into four equal pieces. Each piece is one quarter of a pie.
When something is cut into equal pieces, (think of a pie), the pieces are larger the fewer pieces there are. If the pie is cut in half, that is an entire HALF of the pie one has to eat. But if the pie is cut into three equal pieces, there are more pieces, but they are smaller. So, one fourth of the pie would be even smaller because you are getting ONE piece of a pie that is cut into FOUR pieces. The bottom number of the fraction is how many equal sized pieces there are, and the top number is how many you are getting.

traditionally A PIE IS CUT INTO 8 EQUAL PIECES.
Yes because if you take a pie and cut it into three parts and take two of the three parts, it will be greater than if you cut a same sized pie into five parts and take two of those five parts.
It is not possible to cut a pie into seven pieces of equal area. Eight pieces and six pieces can both readily be done.
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.
