What does a simple fraction look like?

Answer 1

A fraction is a part of a whole. For instance, if you cut a cake into ten slices, each slice is a tenth of the whole cake. Therefore, the fraction for the slice would be 1/10 (one tenth or one over ten).

Answer 2

It look like p/q where p and q are integers such that q > 0 and the absolute value of p is less than q. Further, p and q are relatively prime.
