- The round plate holding all four wedges: the whole, cut into four equal parts
- The wedge still lying in its place: one of the four equal parts

- A chocolate bar snapped into five equal squares, and you give two away
Key takeaways
- The bottom number tells how many equal parts the whole is cut into.
- The top number tells how many of those parts are taken.
