Oh honey, bless your heart. In a fraction, the y doesn't go over the x like a cowboy riding off into the sunset. The y is the numerator on top, and the x is the denominator on the bottom. It's math, not a rodeo.

Oh, what a lovely question! In a fraction, the y does not necessarily go over the x. The y and x can be in different positions depending on the type of fraction you are working with. Just remember, fractions are like little pieces of a beautiful painting, and each part has its own special place.
In a fraction, the y typically does not go over the x. The y is placed above the horizontal line, known as the numerator, while the x is placed below the line, known as the denominator. This format represents the ratio of the two numbers, with the y indicating the part being considered in relation to the whole represented by the x.
The answer will depend on which is the numerator and which the denominator. Either can be represented by x or y, or indeed any other letter including from the Greek alphabet.
If the mixed number is x y/z then the improper fraction is (xz + y)/z
The expression XYZ is not a fraction. If you triple X and triple Y then XYZ becomes 9 times as large. (It is tripled, then tripled again.)
Like this 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8 = 5/10 = 6/12 = 7/14 = 8/16 =9/18 = 10/20 = 11/22 = 12/24 = 50/100 = 931/1862A fraction, such as x/y can be written as x*(1/y)
Division by a fraction is equivalent to multiplication by its reciprocal. That isk / (x/y) = k * (y/x)
Yes - any proper fraction x/y is a rational number. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 0.4 recurring (that is, 0.44444...)
