                  Fraction oF a collection

                  A collection can also be taken as a whole.

                  example:  What fraction of the given collection is red kite?

                  Solution:  One out of the three kites is red.
                                     Number of red kites        1
                               So,                           =
                                    Total number of kites       3
                                       1
                               Thus,   of the kites are red.

                           Quick Check
                         Write down the fraction that shows the part of each collection that is coloured.

                           1.                               2.                                3.

                  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
                  i.e., half of 10 balls is 5 balls.

                  Thus, David gets 5 balls.

                     There are 12 equal-sized biscuits in a packet. Mother takes   (or half) of the biscuits from
                                                                                       2
                     the packet at tea time.

                     1.     How many biscuits are left? Colour them yellow.
                     2.     How many biscuits are taken away? Colour them brown.
