Edit:Help. How do you read/say a fraction with 1 as a denominator.
Like 3/1?three firsts
6/1? six firsts {b]I don't know if you would say "six wholes."[/b]
I know for like for 4/2..it is four halves. You could say, "four seconds."
For 6/3 it is six thirds. If you say 6 over 1 that doesn't sound like a fraction.
The common tongue thinks of fractions as the result of physical division. 1/2 of a pie is what you get when you cut a pie once. 1/3 of a pie is what you get when cut a pie twice. In that sense, fractions with 1 as a denominator make no sense because no cutting has occurred. 1/1 of a pie would just be referred to as a pie. So one way to say 6/1 is to say 6.Help.
