so doesn't dividing the mash, or fries or whatever into 6 involve fractions?
I don't know andy, you tell us. When you go to McDonalds, or Burger King, are you offered 5/6 of a potato, or a portion of chips?
you could give them all nothing
I believe by mashing potatoes and dividing up the mush, or dividing the potatoes into fries would resort to using fractions. I much prefer my answer of not giving anyone any food at all
