There are five fifths in a whole.

Think about it this way:

Divide an apple into five equal parts.

Each part is one fifth of the whole apple.

There are five fifths in one whole. This whole can be an apple, an pear, actually anything, even numbers.

1/5 is one fifth.

Its decimal representation is : 0.2

0.2 multiply by 5 and you get 1, one whole number one.
A fifth is a fraction of a whole number and is written as 1/5.

Therefore 1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5= 5/5 or five fifths which is one whole number.

Or said differently, 5/5 equals 1.

There are five fifths in a whole. In mathematical terms, a whole can be divided into five equal parts, each of which is referred to as a fifth. This is because the denominator of a fraction represents the total number of equal parts into which a whole is divided, and in the case of fifths, the denominator is 5.
