What is a fraction; A fraction is a representation of a part of a value, quantity or item. A fraction can be represented using two numbers, one (the numerator) placed on another (the denominator), separated by a dash line. In an improper fraction the denominator is lesser than the numerator.
Number of members in the team = 46 members
The distance of the race that is divided evenly among the team = 21 miles
The distance each member of the team ran to complete the race can therefore, be calculated from the ratio of the total distance ran to the number of members in the team as follows;
Fraction of a mile each team member ran = (21/46) mile
21/46 ≈ 0.46
The fraction of a mile each team member ran is about 0.46 miles
