key idea

In a fraction:

The number on the top is the total number of equal parts.
The number on the bottom is the number of equal parts in each whole.

A fraction for one whole has the same number on the top and on the bottom.

A fraction for more than one whole has a bigger number on the top than on the bottom.

solution

There are 8 equal parts in total.

There are 4 equal parts in each whole. Each part is

1

4

of a whole.

So, the fraction for all the wholes is

8

4

.
