To keep it, print it while it is open.
When a tart is cut into four equal slices, each slice is one quarter. Four quarters make one whole tart, so five quarters are one whole tart plus one more quarter.
In the picture
- A whole tart: four quarters together make one
- One slice: one quarter of the tart
- The extra slice: one more quarter, five quarters in all
Examples
- Two pizzas each cut into 4 slices: eating 5 slices means you ate one whole pizza and one quarter of another.
- A recipe that needs five quarter cups of flour uses one full cup plus one quarter cup.
Key takeaways
- Four quarters make one whole.
- A fraction can be bigger than one: 5/4 = 1 whole and 1/4.
