A fraction often represents a part of a whole or a part of a set.
Examples:
When a circle is divided into |2| equal pieces, each part represents |1| part out of |2.| When there are |2| objects, each object represents |1| object out of |2.|
In a fraction, the number below the fraction bar (line) represents the number of equal parts into which the whole has been separated.
The number above the fraction bar (line) represents the number of equal parts being used.
A fraction often represents a part of a whole or a part of a set.
A fraction is always made up of a numerator and a denominator.
The denominator is the number below the fraction bar (line). It represents the number of equal parts into which the whole has been separated.
The denominator of the fraction |\dfrac{1}{4}| means that the whole is divided into |4| equal parts.
The numerator is the number above the fraction bar (line). It represents the number of equal parts being used.
The numerator of the fraction |\dfrac{1}{4}| means that |1| part is used.
A fraction can be represented in different ways: using circles, rectangles, or a set of objects.
