Answer sheet

1. 3 — A third is 1 of 3 equal parts, so 3 thirds make a whole.
2. 4 — Share 12 into 3 equal groups: 4 in each group.
3. 12 — The fewer equal parts the cake is cut into, the bigger each part. Halves are the biggest here.
4. 3/4 — After two quarters comes three quarters, 34.
5. 4 — Share 20 into 5 equal groups: 4 in each group.
6. 15 — 1 part out of 5 equal parts is 15.
7. one whole — Four quarters cover the whole shape, so 44 = 1 whole.
8. 2/3 — There were 3 thirds. 1 third was eaten, so 2 thirds, 23, are left.
