Three pieces out of five equal parts.
Ninths means you have something divided into 9 pieces. So how many equal one whole? All 9 pieces! But you don't have one whole, you really have eight. So if 9 pieces are in one whole, ____ x 1 = 8? Multiply this number by the 9 pieces in each whole one and you'll have your answer!
The number of pieces in the whole is the reciprocal of the fraction which represents each piece.So if each piece is a seventh = 1/7, then the number of pieces in the whole is 1/(a seventh) = 1/(1/7) = 7.
Think of a cake cut in three pieces. Each piece is a third, so you would multiply 3 (pieces) times 4 (whole cakes) which equals 12
halves are 2 pieces of a whole combine together to make a whole if you cut a half from a whole you get half. if that makes sense to you
