• 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 7 are still there, so the fraction is 7/8.
• 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 7 slices shown take up 315°.
• 7/8 and 1/8 together make the whole pizza: 7/8 + 1/8 = 8/8 = 1.
