Fractions:
Fractions: Fractions are fragments of a shape or number.
Denominator: The denominator is the bottom number of the fraction.
Numerator: The numerator is the top number of a fraction.
The list above holds the three main words you need to know.
And to remember the numerator and the denominator, Ned
on a donkey you can't have a donkey on Ned just like you
can't have the denominator on the numerator! :D
You can also simplify fractions: so if you had 50/100 then you can divide it by 10 (remember: what ever you do to one side you have to do to the other) to get
5/10 then you divide it by 4 to get 1/2. So basically all you need to do is try and
find the smallest fraction possible.
THE BASIC:
1/2
1/3
1/4
1/1
1 whole!
