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.
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.
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.

How do you find an improper fraction of a mixed number?
If the mixed number is x y/z then the improper fraction is (xz + y)/z
How can any fraction be written as a multiple of a unit fraction?
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)
If the value of X and Y in the fraction XZY are both tripled how does the value of the fraction change?
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.)
How can you use multiplication to divide by a fraction?
Division by a fraction is equivalent to multiplication by its reciprocal. That isk / (x/y) = k * (y/x)
Is 4 over 9 rational?
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...)
How does an improper fraction go between two whole numbers?
Suppose you have the improper fraction X/Y.Divide X by Y and suppose the answer is M and N/Y. Then the fraction X/Y is between M and M+1.
If x equals two thirds and y equals five sixths what is the fraction of one over x and one over y?
5/4
What fraction is equivalent to 4 over 5 and has a denominator that is 4 more than its numerator?
if the numbers are x and y we know that x/y = 0.8 and y = x + 4. So x = 0.8 y y = 0.8 y +4 0.2 y = 4 y = 20 x = 16 The fraction is 16 / 20.
How do you express a fraction to mixed fraction?
For a mixed fraction, you need an improper fraction, that is, a fraction whose numerator is larger than its denominator. So suppose the fraction is x/y where x > y.Then divide x by y: that is x/y = q with a remainder r.Then the mixed fraction for x/y is q r/y.[Actually you need a numerator whose absolute value is greater than the positive denominator, but the fact that you ask this question suggests that you are nowhere near ready to go there.]
How do you turn a mixed into a fraction?
A mixed fraction in the form X Y/Z = (X*Z + Y)/Z.
What is 2 over X plus 1 over Y simplified they are fractions?
I understand you want [(2/x) + (1/y)] as a single fraction. The common denominator is (xy): 2/x = (2y)/(xy); and 1/y = x/(xy), so the answer is (2y + x) / (xy)
How do you describe a product of a positive fraction and its reciprocal?
Take any fraction x/y and multiple that by it's reciprical, y/x. The result is x*y/x*y, or one. so any positive fraction multiplied by it's reciprical is one. hope that helped :)
What is the improper fraction as a mixed number?
Given an improper fraction of the from x/y where x and y are integers and x>=y>0,let x = q*y + r [q is the quotient and r the remainder when x is divided by y].Then x/y = (q*y + r)/y = q + r/yFor mathematically inclined people who wish to cover all bases for the assumptions that x>=y>0If y is negative, then the numerator and denominator of the fraction can be multiplied by -1 to give an equivalent fraction; except that now y > 0.If 0 < x < y then q = 0 so that x/y is a proper fraction and so there is no mixed number.If x < 0 then swap with -x (which will be >0), calculate the mixed number and put a negative sign in front of the answer.
How do you put a rate in a fraction form?
If you have a rate of X of one thing per Y of another, you divide X by Y and then try to rename the resulting fraction so that both X and Y are whole numbers.
What does x over y mean?
(y-y)/(x-x) is very simple. y-y is obviously 0. The same goes for x-x. This results in a final fraction of 0/0. This could be considered 1 because if you think about it like 2/2=1, then you would get 0/0 =1 since the numerator and the denominator are the same. It could also be considered 0 because the numerator is 0 which obviously means there is nothing.However, the answer to this is "undefined" because anything divided by 0 is undefined.
How do you express a mix number into a fraction?
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, add that total to the numerator and put the whole thing over the original denominator.
