                  Fraction as a Part oF a coLLection

                  rani: I have a chocolate bar. There are 12 square pieces in it.

                  It shows a collection or group of 12.

                  Soni (rani’s sister): Wow! I also want to eat this chocolate. Will
                  you share it with me Didi?

                  rani: Of course. I will give you half of it. I can break it along the

                  dotted line into two halves as shown.
                  Soni: Thank you! I got one-half or 6 pieces.

                  Thus, each one of Rani and Soni has one-half of 12, that is, 6.
                                              1     1
                  Similarly, we can find   or   of the following given                              Note
                                              3     4                                  1

                  collections as shown below.                                          2  of 12 pieces = 12 ÷ 2 = 6 pieces
                  (a)  Divide a collection of 6 ice-creams into 3 equal

                       groups. Each group has 2 ice-creams.
                               1
                       Thus,  of 6 = 2.
                               3
                  (b)  Divide a collection of 16 lollipops into 4 equal
                       groups. Each group has

                       4 lollipops.
                               1
                       Thus,  of 16 = 4.
                               4
