Answer 1

Fraction

Explanation:

Fraction is a symbol that represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator and a denominator. The numerator is the number above the fraction bar (also known as "Vinculum), while the denominator is the number below the fraction bar. The denominator is the total number of equal parts in a whole.

Examples of Fraction:
`(1)/(2)`,
`(2)/(7)` and
`(5)/(8)`.

In the first example,
`(1)/(2)`, 1 is the numerator, while 2, is the denominator.

When the numerator is smaller than the denominator, the fraction is called "proper fraction." On the contrary, when the numerator is bigger than the denominator, the fraction is called "improper fraction."
