Fractions are representations of these parts, indicated by a numerator (the parts taken) over a denominator (the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into).
How to divide fractions
Dividing the Whole:
Determine the number of equal parts the whole will be divided into (denominator).
Count the number of equal parts taken (numerator) from the whole.
Number Scale for Fractions:
The scale for fractions typically begins at 0 (indicating none of the parts taken) and ends at 1 (representing the entire whole).
The denominator in a fraction represents the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.
The numerator signifies the number of parts taken from the total equal parts.
