The numerator of the second ratio and the denominator of the first ratio are called the means, and the numerator of the first ratio and the denominator of the second ratio are called the extremes. The product of the means equals the product of the extremes.
That's called an improper fraction.
because the denominator is a bigger number so it is called improper because the denominator is a bigger number so it is called improper
... a proportion.... a proportion.... a proportion.... a proportion.
If you take a common factor and write it outside of the parentheses (which you may need to add), that's called "factoring" or "factorizing". If you have a common factor in the numerator and denominator of an expression, you can just eliminate both; that's often referred to as "simplifying".
When the numerator is bigger than the denomator, it is called a impropper fraction. What you must do is change the impropper fraction to a mixed number. For example a mixed number is 5 and 3/8 (5 3/8). To change to a mixed number, you divide the numerator by the denomintaor. If it comes out even, that single number is your answer, for example, 9/3, would be simplified to 3. However if when you divided the numerator, by the denom., the number was not even, you put the number before the remainder down on the paper. Then the remainder you, will put in the numerator in the fraction next to the 5. The denominator will be the original denominator of the impropper fraction. For example, say you have the mixed number, 10/6, then you divide 10 by six which is not exactly 1, but that is the most amount of times 6 goes into 10. So now you have 1. The remainder would be 4, you would have 4 left over from dividing, now you have 1 4/, the original denominator was 6, so the answer is 1 4/6.. I hope that helped!
Proper fraction - A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the top number) is less that the denominator (the bottom number). Proportion - An equation stating that two ratios are equivalent is called a proportion.
When you have a fraction on each side of the equals you can multiply the denominator of the left side times the numerator of the right. It will equal the product of the numerator on the left side times the denominator of the right. That is called cross products.
Probably because they they were Greek words
The top part of the fraction is called the numerator. The bottom part of a fraction is called the denominator. Numerator, as, in 3/4, 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator. The top number of a fraction is called a numerator and the bottom is called the denominator.
An improper fraction has a numerator greater than the denominator. When the numerator and denominator are equal, that's called "1."
A fraction has two parts. On the top is the numerator, and on the bottom is the denominator. The line separating them is called the vinculum.
when you flip the numerator and denominator you call it the reciprocal. hope it helped.

It is the denominator and the top number is the numerator
