What does the numerator in a fraction represent?

Back

The numerator is the top number of a fraction and represents how many parts we have.

Front

What does the denominator in a fraction represent?

Back

The denominator is the bottom number of a fraction and represents the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

Front

How do you find a fraction of a whole number?

Back

To find a fraction of a whole number, multiply the whole number by the numerator and then divide by the denominator. For example, to find \(\frac{2}{3}\) of 12, calculate \(12 \times 2 \div 3 = 8\).

How do you multiply fractions?

Back

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For example, \(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2 \times 3}{3 \times 4} = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}\).
