Imagine having a delicious chocolate bar you want to share with friends. If you cut it into 4 equal pieces, each piece is one-fourth of the bar, which we can write as the fraction 1/4. When we use decimals, that same piece of chocolate is shown as 0.25. And if you like using percents, 1/4 of the chocolate bar is the same as 25%. So, fractions, decimals, and percents are just different ways to show the same part of the chocolate bar. They help us understand how much we have, no matter how we look at it!
