a. What is \( \frac{1}{3} \) of \( \frac{1}{4} \) ? \( \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{4}= \)

To solve \( \frac{1}{3} \) of \( \frac{1}{4} \), we multiply the two fractions together. So, \( \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 1}{3 \times 4} = \frac{1}{12} \). It’s like sharing a chocolate bar where you first break it into thirds, then each third is broken into quarters—delightfully sweet and just a bit more to share! Understanding fractions better can transform a daunting topic into a sweet piece of cake (or pie, if that’s more your style!). Visual aids, like pie charts or fraction bars, can help grasp how fractions work in our day-to-day lives—after all, sharing pizza or calculating discounts during sales are perfect real-world applications of fractions!
