Denominator - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

The number of parts in the circle represents the denominator of the fraction, while the number of coloured parts represents the numerator.

The circle is divided into 2 parts and 1 part is coloured.

If we rewrite this as a fraction, we obtain the following:

$\frac{1}{2}$

The number of parts in the circle represents the denominator of the fraction, while the number of coloured parts represents the numerator.

The circle is divided into 3 parts and 2 parts are coloured.

Hence:

$\frac{2}{3}$

The number of parts in the circle represents the denominator of the fraction, and the number of colored parts represents the numerator.

The circle is divided into 3 parts, 1 part is colored.

Hence:

$\frac{1}{3}$

To work out what the marked part is, we need to count how many coloured squares there are compared to how many squares there are in total.

If we count the coloured squares, we see that there are four such squares.

If we count all the squares, we see that there are seven in all.

Therefore, 4/7 of the squares are shaded in red.

Note that the numerator is smaller than the denominator:

5 < 6

As a result, we can write it thusly:

\frac{5}{6} < 1

Therefore, the quotient in the division exercise is indeed less than 1.

Note that the numerator is smaller than the denominator:

1 < 2

As a result, we can claim that:

\frac{1}{2}<1

Therefore, the fraction in the division problem is indeed less than 1.

Let's write out the division exercise:

$8:13$

Now let's write it as a simple fraction, remembering that the numerator is on top and the denominator is on the bottom:

$\frac{8}{13}$

Let's begin by writing the division exercise:

$5:9$

We can now proceed to write it as a simple fraction, remembering that the numerator is on top and the denominator is on the bottom:

$\frac{5}{9}$

Firstly, let's write out the division exercise:

$2:5$

Now, let's write it out again as a simple fraction, remembering that the numerator is on top and the denominator is on the bottom:

$\frac{2}{5}$

First, let's write out the division exercise:

$9:13$

Now let's write it as a simple fraction, remembering that the numerator is on top and the denominator is on the bottom:

$\frac{9}{13}$

First, let's write the division exercise:

$2:3$

Now let's write it as a simple fraction, remembering that the numerator is on top and the denominator is on the bottom:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Remember that the numerator is the number at the top of the fraction, whilst the denominator is the number at the bottom of the fraction.

If we place the given values accordingly we should obtain the following:

$\frac{5}{8}$

Remember that the numerator of the fraction is the top half, whilst the denominator of the fraction is the bottom half.

If we position them accordingly we should obtain the following:

$\frac{6}{7}$

Let's remember that the numerator is the number at the top of the fraction, whilst the denominator is the number at the bottom of the fraction.

If we arrange the given values accordingly we should obtain the following:

$\frac{2}{9}$

Let's remember that the numerator is the number at the top of the fraction , whilst the denominator is the number at the bottom of the fraction.

If we insert the given values accordingly we should obtain the following:

$\frac{3}{8}$
