maybe because you're supposed to figure it out?
A fraction has a numerator and a denominator.
you switch the numerator with the denominator then multiply the numerator first then the denominator.
The same numerator as which numerator and the same denominator as which denominator?
numerator by numerator, denominator by denominator
"The numerator and denominator are known as the fraction bar.”
you multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator.
Denominator = 5, numerator = 18
numerator is 8 denominator is 12
Denominator = numerator * 6.
2 as the numerator and 6 as the denominator in simplest form is 1 as the numerator and 3 as the denominator.
You divide the numerator (top) by the GCF to give you the numerator for the reduced fraction. You divide the denominator (bottom) by the GCF to give you the denominator of the reduced fraction. DONE! For example, 27/45 GCF(27, 45) = 9 Numerator of reduced fraction = 27/9 = 3 Denominator of reduced fraction = 45/9 = 5 So reduced fraction = 3/5
That would be the numerator. The numerator is above the denominator. The numerator divided by the denominator would be equal to the quotient. So, numerator/denominator = quotient
