Texas Go Math Grade 4 Lesson 3.5 Write Fractions as Sums 1

Emilio cut a sandwich into 8 equal pieces and ate 1 piece. He has \(\frac{7}{8}\) of the sandwich left. Emilio put each remaining piece on a snack plate. How many snack plates did he use? What part of the sandwich did he put on each plate?
Answer:

Each piece of the sandwich is \(\frac{1}{8}\) the whole. \(\frac{1}{8}\) is called a unit fraction because it tells the part of the whole that 1 piece represents. A unit traction always has a numerator of 1.

Example 1 Use fraction strips. Write \(\frac{7}{8}\) as a sum of unit fractions.
