equivalent fractions
A whole number
The name for 12 equal parts of a whole is "twelfths." When a whole is divided into twelve equal parts, each part is referred to as a twelfth. This concept is commonly used in fractions and measurements to represent quantities that are a fraction of the whole.
The sum of a whole number and a fraction is called a mixed number.
They are different ways of finding the part of a whole
810.4 is a fraction and there is no way to represent it as a whole number. The whole part of it is 810.
A proper fraction can represent a comparison between a part (the numerator) and the whole (the denominator).
Equivalent fractions appear to be different values, but reduce to the same simplified form. They represent the same part of a whole.
To decompose fractions and represent them as a whole number, you can break down the fraction into a sum of smaller fractions that are easier to work with. For example, to decompose the fraction 7/4, you can express it as 1 (which is 4/4) plus 3/4, resulting in 1 + 3/4. This method allows you to separate the whole number part from the fractional part. The whole number is obtained by taking the integer part of the fraction, which in this case is 1.
Decimals and fractions are PART of a whole
Integers are whole numbers, fractions are part of a whole number.

Unit fractions are fractions where the numerator is 1 and the denominator is a positive integer. They represent a single part of a whole that is divided into equal parts. For example, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 are all unit fractions. These fractions are often used in mathematical concepts, including the study of rational numbers and in partitioning whole numbers.

The term fraction means a part of the whole. So one half (1/2) is a fraction. The decimal 0.5 means a half and is also a fraction.

They can do. But they can also show wholes plus a part. For example, 41/2 or 4.5 represent four wholes and one part out of two of another.
