'''Fractions in our Environment '''

We use fractions everyday but most of us haven't noticed that it plays a major role in our lives. This mathematical term is expressed by everyone even if they are bad at Math. As simple as buying a box of pizza, sharing between your siblings or friends, purchasing an item on sale or even baking at home, you are demonstrating the many uses of fractions.

Using Fractions in Everyday Life

When you purchase a box of pizza with your favourite toppings from your franchise of choice (Domino's, Pizza Hut, Little Caesars, etc.) it is always sliced. You can eat it by yourself or share it with someone (friend or sibling) but whatever your decision is you are still eating parts of a whole.
 * Buying a box of Pizza

Everyone has done this at least once in their lifetime. They purchased a discounted item whether it's food, clothing, electronics, etc. because it was on sale for a fraction of the original cost. This way customers get to save money, even though some businesses only give discounts when they have received new stocks.
 * Purchasing an item on Sale

Not everyone can cook or loves the idea of cooking for anyone, even themselves. However, there are persons who enjoys cooking for their families, friends, themselves and businesses because it makes them happy. Anyone who cooks knows that the ingredients for each dish must be precise. If not! The dish will have a different taste. Therefore, most cooks use measuring tools that gives them accuracy when using ingredients in their dishes.
 * Baking at home

Fractions are not just there to give you a headache, but to make your everyday task more efficient and precise.
