Fractions Of A Whole

We had to make the Fractions and find out the how many equal parts there were and add up the parts for example:
3/8 of 24 would be 6 because 3 x 8=24 and 24 shared between 8 =3.
This was easy and difficult because I had learnt fractions in year 4 and 3 and it helped me in this task but it got a bit confusing in some of the fraction slides which made it difficult.  I need to improve on my eighths and sevenths because I got most confused on them.  I can now use my knowledge for multiplication and division.
