More Information
Fractions are a way of representing parts of a whole. When the numerator (top number) is smaller than the denominator (bottom number), the fraction represents a value less than 1.
Tips
A common mistake is to misinterpret the values of fractions, especially when the numerator is 1. Remember that as the denominator increases, the value of the fraction decreases (when the numerator is constant).
