Fraction Language

Fractions are division. For 5/5 we can say:

• 5 out of 5

• 5 over 5

• five fifths

In all of these, we would take the numerator 5 and divide by the denominator 5 which equals 1 whole.

Fractions Equal to 1

If the numerator is the same as the denominator, the fraction is equal to 1 whole.

Whole Numbers More Than 1

Sometimes we represent whole numbers that are greater than one as a fraction. The easiest way to do this is to take a number and "put it over 1". 

 

For example, if you are asked to turn 5 into a fraction, all you have to do is write 5/1.

 

Or 10 into a fraction? 10/1
