Quarter
One quarter means one of four equal parts. Four quarters make one whole.
Example:
Here, out of 4 equal parts, one part is shaded.
The shaded parts show .
To find one quarter, we split the whole into 4 equal parts.
Here we have 8 flowers.
To find a quarter of 8 flowers, we will split the 8 flowers into four equal groups.
By splitting the 8 flowers into four equal parts, we get 2 flowers in each group.
A quarter means one of four equal parts.
of 8 =
× 8 = 2
2/4 of 8 = +
= 2 + 2 = 4
¾ of 8 = +
+
= 2 + 2 + 2 = 6
To find a quarter of an amount, we divide the amount by 4.
For example:
of 12 = 12 ÷ 4 = 3
Let's try a question.
Here is a quarter of the group of monsters. What is the total number of monsters in the group?
Answer:
Number of above-given monsters = 6
It is a quarter of the group of monsters.
We will add 6 four times to know the whole number.
Four quarters make one whole.
6 + 6 + 6 + 6
= 24
So, the whole is 24.
