Part A
"If you share 7 apples equally with 3 people, then there are 2 apples left over." In this problem, the whole number 2 represents the apples left over after dividing them equally, the denominator 3 represents the number of people sharing the apples, and the numerator 1 represents the number of complete shares each person receives (7 ÷ 3 = 2 with 1 left over).
Part B
Real-life application: Imagine you have 1 pizza and you want to divide it equally among 14 friends. Simplified expression: 1÷14 = 1/14. This means each person would get 1/14 of the pizza.
