the denominator represents the total amount of something, compared to the numerator which represents how much there is. 1/2 of my delicious pie (apple of course)=someone ate the other half?!?!
What is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator represent the same amount but are in different units?
It is neither the numerator nor the denominator but the fraction that they represent.
The line separates the numerator and the denominator.
In a fraction, the numerator represent the part out of the denominator which represents the total. Neither need be rational (or even real).
It represents the order of the root that needs to be calculated. A denominator of 2 means a square root. A denominator of 3 means a cube root. And so on.
The denominator represents the integer that is being fractionalized as for example 4/5 means 4 parts of 5
A proper fraction can represent a comparison between a part (the numerator) and the whole (the denominator).
Proportion
It is the numerator of a fraction which is above the denominator.
The denominator tells you how many parts into which the whole has been divided, and the numerator tells you how many of those parts there are.
A proper fraction in which the denominator is a power of 10.
The numerator is the number above the line in a common fraction showing how many of the parts indicated by the denominator are taken. The denominator is the number below the line in a common fraction showing the total number of parts.
