What is a denominator?
A denominator is the bottom number of a fraction. It tells how many equal parts make up the whole. It also names the fraction, such as "half", "thirds", "fourth", etc. For example: 1/4 - 4 is the denominator and the name of the fraction, one fourth or one quarter. The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction. For example, if 3/4 was your fraction, the 4 would be your denominator.
What fraction is greater than one-half?
The one where the numerator is more than half of the denominator.
What will the denominator be in the equivalent fraction for 64.50?
The denominator can be any even integer. In the equivalent fraction, the numerator would be 129 times half that integer.
How could you use the relationship between the numerator and denominator of fractions equivalent to one-half to determine if a fraction is less than one-half?
If a fraction is equivalent to one-half then the numerator is always half the denominator. Or, the double the numerator is the denominator. So, given any other fraction, p/q, if 2p < q then the fraction < 1/2 if 2p = q then the fraction = 1/2 if 2p > q then the fraction > 1/2
