When a fraction describes part of a group, the denominator tells you how many equal units the group splits into. Always find ONE unit first — divide the total by the denominator — then multiply for however many units you need. The P6 twist is a fraction OF THE REMAINDER: after some is spent, the next fraction is taken from what is left, not from the original amount. Reading which whole a fraction refers to is most of the work.
