Slice a pizza, and you will have fractions

1/2	1/4	3/8
(One-Half)	(One-Quarter)	(Three-Eighths)
The top number tells how many slices you have  The bottom number tells how many slices the pizza wascut into. Some fractions may look different, but are really the same, for example: 4/8 = 2/4 = 1/2 (Four-Eighths) Two-Quarters) (One-Half)
