Why do fractions represent the part of a whole? WHY??? My theory is that in pic related you have 7/9, that means a whole divided in 9 parts times 7: 1/9 x 7, which is equal do 0.77777, so it represents a number that is 0.77777 times smaller than a whole (1).

This can be expressed in pizza related.

I want to die now

So, 0.77777/1 = 7/9.

whats the problem?

why? its deep thinking.

Literally the same thing.

>9 = 10

yes

x × 1 = x
Pass 4th grade and come back when you're 18.

i'm doing analysis right now lol.

try to amplify the ysis part a bit more

Why tho?

> 7/9 = 2/9
haha brainlets

Write analysis without the "ysis" part...

by definition

...

stop with this bs, you wouldn't be able to understand that concept without my thread.

what is a real number if its not a fraction or a limit point of a sequence of fractions?

you're confused because 7/9 is irrational?
it's because we use base 10

its more about why we represent the part that we have (7) in the numerator and the whole (9) in the denominator.

Are you dumb?

Because nobody wants to use approximations

how would you do an approximation without fractions?
