Yes.
In a fraction, such as 3/4 (three quarters) the 3 is the numerator - telling how many, and the 4 is the denominator - telling how many of what.
3/4 is three (how many) 4 (quarters) of what.
It is perfectly acceptable to express a number as, for example 5/4, which means five quarters, which is the same as one and one quarter, or 1 and 1/4.
