This exercise gives a real-life problem where a fraction is taken from a whole number. To find the answer, multiply the total by the fraction (or divide by the denominator and then multiply by the numerator).

What does this generator do?

Picks a friendly fraction and a total that is a multiple of the denominator, so the answer is always a whole number.

How to use it

Divide the total by the denominator first (this gives one piece). Then multiply by the numerator (this gives the answer for the fraction). For "leftover" problems, subtract from the total.
