Fractions

A fraction represents a part of a whole. It is written as two numbers separated by a slash, like 1/2.

The top number is called the numerator. It shows how many parts we have.

The bottom number is called the denominator. It shows how many equal parts the whole is divided into.

3/4 means 3 parts out of 4 equal parts.

1/2 means 1 part out of 2 equal parts.

4/5 means 4 parts out of 5 equal parts.

6/8 means 6 parts out of 8 equal parts.

1/10 means 1 part out of 10 equal parts.

To compare fractions, you can find a common denominator or convert them to decimals.

Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same part of a whole, like 1/2 and 2/4.
