you put the whole number over one like this 8/1
a fraction is a number that show part of a whole example: 1/2 2/5 ect. It should say "a fraction is a number that SHOWS part of a whole"
A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. When spoken in everyday English, a fraction describes how many parts of a certain size there are.
You can make a mixed number with a whole number and a fraction. Ex. 1 3/4 is a mixed number.
An improper fraction has the top number ( numerator ) equal to or larger than the bottom number ( denominator ) such as 100 / 50 . So divide the bottom number into the top number to get a whole number and any remainder would show up as a proper fraction. Thus 100/50 = 2 and 103/50 = 2 and 3/50
A fraction. Usually a mixed fraction or improper fraction, depending how you decide to show the result.

Example: five eighths divided by two Treat the whole number as a number divided by one Bracket the fraction above the fraction bar and the number below the bar. So: (5/8) / (2/1) Now invert the bottom line and multiply with the top line: 5/8 * 1/2 and multiply out: = 5 / 16
Decimals are there to show you a fraction. For example, 1 1/2 is the same as the decimal 1.5. It just shows you how close you are to a whole number in a different way than a fraction.
For example, 5/7 is the same as 5 times 1/7.
the fraction 25/1 or any fraction equal to that, such as 50/2 25 cannot be expressed as a decimal because it is a whole number; to express it as a decimal would basically be 25.0
Pie charts are commonly used to show parts of a whole. Each slice of the pie represents a proportion of the total, making it easy to see the relationship between the different components.
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator, then write this sum over the original denominator. Conversely, to convert an improper fraction to a mixed number, divide the numerator by the denominator to get the whole number, and write any remainder as the numerator of the fractional part, keeping the original denominator.
