Alvin's mom loves to cook. For her birthday, Alvin surprises her with a new container for

her cooking spoons. The round container is divided into 5 equal sections. Alvin fills 4 sections
with wooden spoons.
What fraction of the container does Alvin fill with wooden spoons?

Answer:

It's all about parts.

Explanation:

Since the container has 5 sections we can look at it as ?/5. With every section that Alvin fills, we add 1 more to the fraction. So, if he fills 1 section, we have 1/5. If he fills 2 sections, we have 2/5, and so on. I hope this helps you.
