What is a denominator and numerator on a fraction?
On a fraction: 1 <---------numerator ------- 2 <------------denominator Remember that the "D"enominator is always "D"own on the bottom.
Is the numerator the top or bottom of a fraction?
The numerator is on top. The bottom is the denominator. I always remember D for down (denominator)
How does a fraction work?
A fraction represents a part of a whole. Fractions have two parts, the Numerator (top number) and the Denominator (bottom number). The fraction 3/4 means that you have 3 parts of a whole. The numerator (3) indicates the count of the parts. The denominator (4) indicates the total number of parts. Fractions can also be seen as division problems. The denominator is also called the divisor. The fraction 3/4 can be represented as the decimal 0.75, if you divide 3 by 4. If dividing the numerator by the denominator, the result will always be a decimal.
Is a fraction less than 1 have a numerator that is less than its denominator?
Yes, a fraction less than 1 will always have a numerator that is less than its denominator. This is because the value of a fraction decreases as the numerator gets smaller in relation to the denominator. For example, 1/2 is smaller than 3/2 or 4/2.
Why is it necessary to add a decimal point when you are dividing a numerator from a denominator?
It is not always necessary. For example 100/5 = 20. No decimal points in sight!
When you divide the numerator of a fraction by the denominator you always get a decimal that ends a terminal decimal?
Not at all. The quotient of 1/3 doesn't end.
What is a denominator and numerator on a fraction?
On a fraction: 1 <---------numerator ------- 2 <------------denominator Remember that the "D"enominator is always "D"own on the bottom.
Why in improper fraction the numerator is greater than denominator?
That is why it is called an improper fraction because a proper or a common fraction always has its numerator less than its denominator.
Is the numerator the top or bottom of a fraction?
The numerator is on top. The bottom is the denominator. I always remember D for down (denominator)
Is 9 over 9 an improper fraction?
Yes. If the numerator (on top) is higher or equal to the denominator (bottom) than its an improper fraction. If the numerator and denominator are the same then the fraction is considered a whole number and always comes out 1. If the numerator is higher than the denominator then you must divide the numerator by the denominator.

Is a fraction with a numerator that is greater then or equal to the denominator?
the numerator always has to be less than the denominator and if its equal like 5 to 5 that is 1
What is the simalarites betweenproer and improper fractions?
Both proper and improper fractions have a numerator and a denominator. In a proper fraction the numerator is always less than the denominator. In an improper function the numerator is greater than the denominator
How could you use the relationship between the numerator and denominator of fractions equivalent to one-half to determine if a fraction is less than one-half?
If a fraction is equivalent to one-half then the numerator is always half the denominator. Or, the double the numerator is the denominator. So, given any other fraction, p/q, if 2p < q then the fraction < 1/2 if 2p = q then the fraction = 1/2 if 2p > q then the fraction > 1/2
When you write a fraction in simplest form the numerator and denominator always or never have 1 as their only common factor?
Always
Is a fraction less than 1 have a numerator that is less than its denominator?
Yes, a fraction less than 1 will always have a numerator that is less than its denominator. This is because the value of a fraction decreases as the numerator gets smaller in relation to the denominator. For example, 1/2 is smaller than 3/2 or 4/2.
Fraction that always equals one?
Any fraction to the power of 0 will always equal 1 Any fraction that has the same numerator and denominator will also equal 1
