There are three main ways to express a fraction: as a fraction, and improper number, or as a decimal. A fraction follows the syntax a/b where b is the units (halfs, quarters, twenty-thirds) being expressed and a is the number of units that the fraction represents. An improper fraction can be created when the numerator is greater than the denominator, allowing us to take the value of the denominator out of the numerator allowing us to bring the number of times we were able to remove the denominator from the numerator outside the fraction (e.i. 5/4 = 1 1/4 or 9/4 = 2 1/4). A decimal expression of a fraction can be created by simply dividing the numerator of the fraction by the denominator (i.e. 2/3 = 0.667).
