A Unit fraction is a fraction that has a numerator of 1.
Examples:
\[ {1 \over 5}, {1 \over 7}, {1 \over 8} \; and \; {1 \over 9} \] are all unit fractions.
\[ {3 \over 5}, {9 \over 7}, {6 \over 8} \; and \; {2 \over 9} \] are NOT unit fractions.

You should have now found your unit fraction of a number!
PLEASE NOTE:
Finding a fraction of a whole number is the same as multiplying the fraction by the whole number.
In other words:
\[ {1 \over 5} \; of \; 30 \; is \; the \; same \; as \; {1 \over 5} \times 30 \]
To find the unit fraction of a number, you need to divide the number by the denominator.
This gives us: \[ {1 \over 6} \; of \; 24 \; = \; 24 ÷ 6 \; = \; 4 \]
To find the unit fraction, we need to divide the number by the denominator.
This gives us: \[ {1 \over 7} \; of \; 35 \; = \; 35 ÷ 7 \; = \; 5 \]
