What is fraction: A fraction says how

A fraction says how many equal parts of a whole. The top number says how many slices we have. The bottom number says how many equal slices the... In a simple fraction , both are integers. A complex fraction has a fraction in the numerator or denominator. In a proper fraction , the numerator is less than the denominator. If the numerator is greater, it is called an improper fraction and can also be written as a mixed number—a whole-number quotient with a proper- fraction remainder.

Fractions are numerical expressions used to represent parts of a whole or ratios between quantities. Example: If an apple is divided into 4 equal parts, and one part is taken out, thus the fraction representing the taken out part is 1/4 as one part is taken out of 4 equal parts. If 3 parts are taken then the fraction representing the taken out part will be 3/4. Some common real life examples of fractions are:
