 Recap

We have fractions all around the world around us,

today we just focused on fractions in pizza
We learned that if we count the number of slices that has
what is being asked (how many pieces of pepperoni, how
many dont have sausage, how many have cheese) and
put it over the total number of slices, we have created a
fraction
After working today can anyone think of fractions that
exist anywhere besides food?
