fraction

A fraction represents a part of a whole number, or a proportion of a number.

A fraction is broken into a numerator (the number on the top) and a demominator (the number on the bottom).

An equivalent fraction is a fraction that is the same value (equivalent) to the given fraction.

An improper fraction is the name given to a fraction where the top number (numerator) is greater than the bottom number (denominator).

A mixed number is the name given to a number that has a whole part and a fraction part combined.
