Fractions

A fraction looks like this,

8

9

_

The top number is called the numerator,

And the bottom number

is called the denominator,

The denominator tells you how many chunks a number is split into, and the numerator tells you how many of those chunks.

For example,

3/4 of 24

1.24 is bieng divided into 4 chunks, so we divide it by 4.

2. Now we have 6. Next, because there are 3 of these chunks, we have to times it by 3.

24

4 = 6

6 x 3 = 18

3. 18 is our answer

3/4 of 24 = 18
