When two fractions refer to the same whole explain why the fraction with a lesser denominator has larger pieces than the fraction with a greater denominator?
The fraction with the smaller denominator has fewer pieces in the whole. So each piece must be bigger.
The bottom part of a fraction?
the bottom part of a fraction is the denominator. and the denominator tells how many pieces are in an object or thing. For example; 1/4 means that there are 4 pieces of something. (Hope this helped!)
What is a denominator in math problem?
A denominator is the part of a fraction which indicates the number of pieces that make a whole For example, in the fraction 5 / 6, the 6 is the denominator, indicating that 6 parts makes a whole.
What part of a fraction represents the amount of pieces that make up a whole?
It's the denominator I think, but it could be the numerator
What is fraction with a denominator of 1?
Any fraction that has a denominator of one is a whole number. Remember the numerator tells you "How many pieces out of" and the denominator tells you the "Total number of pieces per whole". Therefore any number over 1 is the numerator.1/1 = 12/1 = 23/1 = 34/1 = 45/1 = 5 and so on.
When the denominator increases the fractional pieces become?
Smaller
What does a denominator tell you about a fraction?
The denominator tells you the total of the pieces in the fraction.
How the numerator and denominator of a fraction are related?
The denominator is how many pieces are in a whole, or one, while the numerator is the number of pieces you have of the whole.

What part of a fraction tells the total number of pieces or parts?
The denominator.
What part of fraction tells the total number of pieces or parts?
The denominator.
What part of a fraction that tells how many pieces are in the whole?
It depends. If you mean how many pieces there are in all, It's the denominator. But if it is how many pieces are left in a whole, it's the numerator.

A denominator is the part of a fraction which indicates the number of pieces that make a whole For example, in the fraction 5 / 6, the 6 is the denominator, indicating that 6 parts makes a whole.
How is a numerator different from a denominator?
The numerator tells how many of something, and the denominator tells the size of the "something". Take a pizza and cut it into 8 pieces. Each piece is one eighth, or one of eight (1/8), so 8 is the denominator. If you take 3 pieces, you now have three eighths (3/8) of the pizza.
How does dividing a solid into smaller pieces affect surface area?
It increases it.
