Finding Fractions oF a collection using division

Fractions are also equal parts of a collection.

Half 1 of a collection
2

Eddy has a collection of 10 balls. He wants to give half of the balls to his younger brother,

David. So, Eddy divides the collection into two equal parts.
1
Here, each part represents half 2 of the collection.

1
So, of 10 = 5 or 10 ÷ 2 = 5
2
that is, half of 10 balls is 5 balls.

Thus, David gets 5 balls.
