2. If each slice is 1/5 of a loaf, how many slices are there?

3. What happens to the number of slices as each slice gets smaller?

Answer 1

1. There would be 2 slices as the denominator is 2.

2. There would be 5 slices as the denominator is 5.

3. As each slice gets smaller, the denominator gets bigger, because the bigger the denominator is, the more pieces it needs to make a whole.

Hope this helps :)
