Question

Where we use fraction in our daily life

Open in App
Solution

Dear StudentAny value of anything that is not a whole number is a fraction! After all, that is what a fraction is ? a part of a whole. And there are parts of a whole everywhere! If you don't believe this, then try baking a cake without using fractions. If it were not for fractions something as simple as baking a cake would be impossible. When you put 2 eggs into the cake mix you are using 1/6 of a dozen. In fact, every ingredient in a cake recipe is a fraction of something: a cup of milk, a teaspoon of salt, a stick of butter, a half a cup of chocolate chips. Can you imagine the result of baking a cake mixing an entire salt shaker, a gallon of milk, a pound of butter, a dozen eggs and an entire bag of chocolate chips?You would either have a really poor tasting cake or you would have a cake the size of the refrigerator!REGARDS.
