A unit fraction is where the numerator is 1 (which is where the term "unit" comes from) and the denominator is any positive whole number you want.

For example, 1/5 and 1/9 are unit fractions.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: A unit fraction is one part of a whole that is divided into equal parts. A unit fraction has 1 as the top number, which is the numerator. ... With unit fractions, when the bottom number - called the denominator - is bigger, the value of the unit fraction is smaller.
