Fraction of a collection
Learning Objective– Students will be able to learn about fraction of a collection.
A fraction is represented by:
Number of shaded parts
Total number of equal parts
In 3/8: 3 is written above the line, which is called Numerator.
8 is written below the line, which is called Denominator.
Finding fraction of a collection:
a) To find half of a collection, divide by 2.
Example: ½ of 14 = 14 ÷ 2 =7
Thus, ½ of 14 = 7
a) To find one-third of a collection, divide by 3.
Example: 1/3 of 33 = 33 ÷ 3 =11
Thus,1/3 of 33 = 11
b) To find quarter of a collection, divide by 4.
Example: ¼ of 12 = 12 ÷ 4 = 3
Thus, ¼ of 12 = 3
Learning Outcome– Students are able to learn about fraction of collection.
