The numerator is what you are going divide with, while the denominator is what you are going to divide by. Example: You want to divide 2 by 4. So, 2/4. 2 is what you are going to divide with, so it will be the numerator. 4 is what you want to divide by, so it will be the denominator.

no it cannot
Explain how to find restrictions on the variable in a rational equation?
Substitute the variable in the denominator for a value that will make the denominator have a value of 0 or an imaginary number
How do you change an improper fraction to a whole number or mixed number?
It's difficult to explain, but I'll try. You have to find out the amount of times the denominator (bottom number) goes into the numerator (top number) that will give you the whole number part for a mixed numeral. You then get the remaining fraction and you put it next to your whole number. For example: 12/8, 8 goes into twelve once so now you have a 1, 4/8 is your remainder (what is left). You put that next to your whole number, and now you have 1 4/8, therefore, 12/8=1 4/8.
How can you explain fraction to decimal conversion?
divide the numerator by the denominator
Explain why dividing the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the greatest common factor is the most efficient way of simplfying the fraction?
By dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same number is like dividing by 1.
What is the difference between a numerator and a denominator?
To explain simply, think of a fraction. There is a number (in simple cases) on top and a number on the bottom. The numerator is the top number, the denominator is the bottom one. An easy trick I used to remember is that d is for down- denominator goes down. Though probably not as useful, numerator has a u in it, to represent up. Hope this helps!
