Answer 1

Answer:

To represent parts of whole numbers, we use fractions.

So if 4 kids are sharing 3 cookies, what happens?

First, we divide one cookie into four equal parts, and give one part to each kid. Then we do the same with the second cookie, and then with the third one.

In the end, each kid will have three pieces. Each piece is a whole cookie divided into four equal parts.

So we represent this amount as

3 (Number of parts) & 4 (How many equal parts the whole is divided into)

3

4

as a fraction

A fraction is made of two numbers :

Answer 2

It should be percent

• He has 12 cookies.
• He gives 31% to his mother.
• He gives 61%to his brother.

Mother:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 31\%\:of 12$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.31(12)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 3.72$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 4(Approx)$

Brother:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.61(12)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 7.32$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 7(Approx)$
