A quotient of two quantities shown as a numerator over a denominator would be a fraction, e.g, 1/4, 2/5, 1/2, etc.
it is a fraction
When the numerators are the same, the fraction with the higher denominator is less than the fraction with the lower denominator. The denominator indicates the size of the "parts" being shown as a fraction, and the higher the denominator, the smaller those parts are!
3/4 = 6/8 = 9/12 = 12/16......and so on As the numerator and denominator have no common factors then the fraction cannot be simplified. The only way therefore to create equivalent fractions is to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number. In the examples shown we have multiplied the original figures by 2, 3 and 4.
It is a rational number.

If the fractions have the same denominator, come up with an answer (it should benegative) (ex. 4/5-8/5=[-4/5]). If not, make the fractions of equivalent denominators and then do as i have shown above (like so; 2/3-73/21=14/21-73/21=[59/21]=[-2 17/21])
No, it is equal to 1/7 This is shown by reducing the fraction, by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2.

Fractions, huh?First, let me give them their names. The top number is "numerator" and the bottom number is "denominator". Sometimes that is shown asnumerator----------denominatorNow to your problem:Find the common denominator:1 3/10 plus 1 1/8Calculate a common denominator (the bottom number of the fraction) by multiplying them together.10 x 8 = 80Next, flip that over: 8 x 10 = 80Equalize the numerator:Use the 8 times the first fraction's numerator of 3 (8 x 3 = 24)Use the 10 times the second fraction's numerator of 1 (10 x 1 = 10)Your problem now has a common denominator and an equalized numerator, add them together:1 24/80 plus 1 10/80 = 2 34/80 which can be reduced to 2 17/40.
10.0 = 10 is an integer and not a fraction. However, it can be expressed in rational form as 10/1. You can then calculate equivalent rational fractions if you multiply both, its numerator and denominator, by any non-zero integer.
It is a rational number.

To add or subtract fractions the denominators must be the same. If the denominators are different, convert them into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Ideally the new denominator should be the lowest common multiples of the denominators, but a simple solution is to use the "butterfly" method: 1. Multiply the denominators together to create the new denominator 2. Multiple the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction to get the new first numerator 3. Multiple the numerator of the second fraction by the numerator of the first fraction to get the new second numerator. The fractions are then added/subtracted by keeping the denominator and adding/subtracting the denominators, and simplify the result (by dividing the numerator and denominator by any common factors until the only common factor is 1). eg 2/3 - 1/6 = (2x6)/(3x6) - (1x3)/(3x6) = 12/18 - 3/18 = (12-3)/18 = 9/18 = (1x9)/(2x9) = 1/2 To multiply fractions multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together and simplify. eg 2/3 × 1/6 = (2×1)/(3×6) = 2/18 = (1x2)/(9x2) = 1/9 To divide fractions, invert the divisor and multiply as above. eg 4/7 ÷ 2/3 = 4/7 × 3/2 = (4×3)/(7×2) = 12/14 = (2x6)/(2x7) = 6/7 To work with mixed numbers, it is easier to convert them into an improper fractions, solve as above, and convert any improper fraction back to a mixed number. To convert a mixed number into an improper fraction multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator to get the new numerator and keep the denominator. eg 2 3/4 = (2x4+3)/4 = 11/4 To convert an improper fraction into a mixed number divide the numerator by the denominator to get a quotient and a remainder; the quotient is the whole number and the remainder is the numerator over the original denominator. eg 11/4: 11 ÷ 4 = 2 r 3 → 11/4 = 2 3/4 This can be written as the reverse of the above conversion: eg 11/4 = (2x4+3)/4 = 2 3/4 Though, normally only the first and last steps would be shown. eg 4 1/5 ÷ 3/7 = (4x5+1)/5 ÷ 3/7 = 21/5 ÷ 3/7 = 21/5 × 7/3 = (21x7)/(5x3) = (3x7x7)/(5x3) = 49/5 = (9x5+4)/5 = 9 4/5
4% is equivalent to 4/100 so it can be shown as a ratio as 4:100 or simplified, 1:25 Ratios basically work the same way as fractions but you have a colon between the numerator and denominator instead of a horizontal line.
