equivalent fractions
A whole number
The sum of a whole number and a fraction is called a mixed number.
They are different ways of finding the part of a whole
810.4 is a fraction and there is no way to represent it as a whole number. The whole part of it is 810.
Fractions and decimals are different ways of notating the same thing: a number that falls between two whole numbers. In its simplest form, think about a distance or a value that is exactly halfway between 3 and 4 of something. As a mixed number, that would be 3 and 1/2 As a fraction, that would be 7/2 As a decimal, that would be 3.5 Some people refer to mixed fractions or decimal fractions to underscore the fact that they're all the same.
A proper fraction can represent a comparison between a part (the numerator) and the whole (the denominator).
Equivalent fractions appear to be different values, but reduce to the same simplified form. They represent the same part of a whole.
Decimals and fractions are PART of a whole
Integers are whole numbers, fractions are part of a whole number.

The term fraction means a part of the whole. So one half (1/2) is a fraction. The decimal 0.5 means a half and is also a fraction.
They can do. But they can also show wholes plus a part. For example, 41/2 or 4.5 represent four wholes and one part out of two of another.
The figure of speech used to represent the whole of a part or part of a whole is called synecdoche. It involves using a specific part of something to represent the entire thing or using the entire thing to represent just a part of it.
