In Brazilian Portuguese, fractions are spoken and written differently compared to English. This guide will help you understand and use them effectively.

To start with, let's learn some basic fractions. Notice the format: it's "(numerator) avos" for everything above "half".

Example: Divida a pizza em três quartos. (Divide the pizza into three fourths.)

When it comes to complex fractions, we use the general rule of "(numerator) avos", with 'avos' being a general term for 'parts' or 'fractions'. For example:

Example: Ela comeu sete décimos do bolo. (She ate seven tenths of the cake.)

Knowing fractions in Brazilian Portuguese is useful for various everyday situations. It allows you to understand and express measurements, such as recipe quantities or dimensions, accurately.
