It represents the ratio between the numerator and the denominator. It is totally misleading to suggest that it represent anything like "parts of a whole". The ratio of the surface area of a sphere to its volume is 3/r. In this expression 3 parts out of the "total" radius is not a particularly meaningful or useful concept.

What does the denominator of a fractional exponent represent?
It represents the order of the root that needs to be calculated. A denominator of 2 means a square root. A denominator of 3 means a cube root. And so on.
What is nominator and denominator?
In a fraction, the numerator represent the part out of the denominator which represents the total. Neither need be rational (or even real).

What is rationalize a denominator?
process by which a fraction containing radicals in the denominator is rewritten to have only rational numbers in the denominator.
How do you determine the values for which a rational expression is undefined?
A rational expression is not defined whenever the denominator of the expression equals zero. These will be the roots or zeros of the denominator.

What is a rational exponent in math?
If the exponent or raised power of a number is in the form of p/q the exponent is said to be rational exponent. For example= 11/2 22/3
What is the 15.125 it is a rational or irrational in math?
It is a rational number. The reason that it is rational is that you can represent it as a fraction, where the denominator (the number at the bottom of the fraction) is not equal to 0.So, for example, as we could write the number 15.125 as 15125/1000 then it is rational.
Real life example of rational exponents?

If the denominator of a fraction is rational then the fraction is rational?
That is not true.
What is a 5 exponent of 2 rational or irrational?
Rational, since it can be written as 25/1 .
How do you make a decimal into a negative exponent?
You look at the denominator first. Then you try to find out what exponents make the denominator. After doing that, you add a negative symbol to the smaller number on the exponent.
