• The bottom number of a fraction says how many equal parts the whole was cut into, and the top number says how many of them you have. This pizza was cut into 8 equal eighths, and 6 are still there, so the fraction is 6/8.
• The slices have to be equal for the fraction to mean anything. A pizza cut into 8 equal pieces gives each piece 360° ÷ 8 = 45° of the turn around the middle, and the 6 slices shown take up 270°.
• 6/8 and 2/8 together make the whole pizza: 6/8 + 2/8 = 8/8 = 1.
• 6/8 and 3/4 are the same amount of pizza written two ways — dividing both numbers by 2 does not change how much there is. That is what equivalent fractions means, and it is easier to see on a pizza than on a number line.
