WHAT IS A FRACTION
A fraction is a whole that is divided into parts.
Ex
Mila has a whole pizza.Her friends Miley and Inshirah come over and want some of her pizza.Now Mila has to share her pizza. Mila has to cut the pizza into 3 parts so Mila,Miley and Inshirah get one slice each.
There are two parts to a fraction. The first part is called a numerator and it goes on the top. A numerator is how many pieces are taken off. The second part is called a denominator; it goes on the bottom. A denominator means how many pieces are in the whole.
This is how you would write it.
