Step-by-step explanation:
First, a fraction is made up of two integers—one on the top, and one on the bottom. The top one is called the numerator, the bottom one is called the denominator, and these two numbers are separated by a line.
numerator
- A fraction is used to describe a portion of something, like 1/4 of a cake or 1/2 of a pie. Each number of the fraction has a name. The number above the line is the numerator, and the number below the line is the denominator.
- The numerator represents a number of equal parts, and the denominator is how many of those equal parts make up a whole. In the cake example above, the numerator '1' shows that we are talking about one portion of cake. The denominator '4' means that the whole cake is made up of four equal portions.
- Proper fractions: These fractions are written in the proper form - the numerator is smaller than the denominator, and they cannot be simplified any further.
- Improper fractions: An improper fraction is one in which the numerator is greater than the denominator.
- Mixed fraction: A mixed fraction is a whole number and proper fraction combined. It describes a situation in which you have at least one of something and also a part of another one. For example, 'the soccer team ate 3 1/2 pizzas at their party
