Oh, dude, you want to break down 5/8 into a sum of unit fractions? Easy peasy! It's just 1/2 + 1/8, like a math smoothie of fractions. So, 5/8 is basically 1/2 + 1/8. Math, man, it's like a puzzle that's already solved.
There are five fifths in one whole. In fractions, a fifth represents one part out of five equal parts. Therefore, when you have five fifths combined, you have a whole unit.
Yes they do
All of them have a numerator of 1.
yes!! it is called unit fraction
Yes, every unit fraction is proper fraction because a proper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is smaller than denominator. So the set of all unit fractions are also proper fractions.

Yes, but only if negative unit fractions are included.For example 3/7 = 1/2 - 1/14but I do not think there are positive unit fractions that will do.Yes, but only if negative unit fractions are included.For example 3/7 = 1/2 - 1/14but I do not think there are positive unit fractions that will do.Yes, but only if negative unit fractions are included.For example 3/7 = 1/2 - 1/14but I do not think there are positive unit fractions that will do.Yes, but only if negative unit fractions are included.For example 3/7 = 1/2 - 1/14but I do not think there are positive unit fractions that will do.
No. They thought that all fractions could be expressed as combinations of unit fractions. They and other ancients may have thought that any fraction could be wretten as a combination of unit fractions, but according to wikipedia they (ancient Egyptians) had special symbols for 2/3 and 3/4 and even had a papyrus used by scribes that listed the equivalents for 2/n, so they did not always write fractions as this combination of unit fractions. Does your question mean a combination of unit fractions, or as a unit fraction?
You mean eights. For each whole number/unit, there would be eight, so five times eight would be 40, then you have five more eighths, so 45, all told.
Unit fractions are fractions where the top number (numerator) is 1. EG: 1 over 5 ( 1/5 ) - The top number is 1 so it is a unit fraction.a unit fraction is any fraction with a numerator of 1 for example: 1/8 is a unit fraction 1/125, is a unit fraction 9/16 is NOTa unit fraction
A unit = 1 = 1/1 in fraction form.
How would we do it well remember a unit fraction always has one as a numerator. So 2/3 would be 1/3 plus 1/3. These are the unit fractions. It's got a 1 is a numerator all right 5/6 would be a 1 6.
78/1
its always going to be in the denominator of 2 fractions.
an exponent
Yes they do
All of them have a numerator of 1.
