What is a Unit Fraction?
A unit fraction is a fraction where the numerator is 1. Examples include 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/10.

A quarter is 1/4. It divides something into four equal parts. Example: A quarter of 12 is 3.
Learning About Thirds
A third is represented by 1/3. It splits something into three equal parts. Example: A third of 9 is 3.
Understanding Fifths
A fifth is 1/5. It divides something into five equal parts. Example: A fifth of 20 is 4.
Exploring Tenths
A tenth is represented by 1/10. It splits something into ten equal parts. Example: A tenth of 100 is 10.
Practice Problems
Solve unit fraction problems: 1/2 of 10, 1/4 of 16, 1/3 of 9, 1/5 of 25, 1/10 of 50.
