More Than One Out of Many Equal Parts


            In  a  birthday  party,  Anuradha's  mother  cut  a  cake  into

            three  equal  parts  and  wanted  to  give  one  piece  to

            Anuradha.

            But, Anuradha insisted on taking two pieces. So, she got 2
                                                                                           2
            out of 3 equal parts. You can express it as two-thirds or — .
                                                                                           3
            The  picture  below  shows  that  a  pizza  has  been  divided

            into  four  equal  parts.  The  second  picture  shows  three

            parts out of the four equal parts of the pizza. Can you say


            that these are 3 out of 4 equal parts ? You can express 3
                                                                     3
            out of 4 in two ways as three-fourths or — .
                                                                     4
