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.
