Did You Know?

Manny Pacquiao has won 60 out of 69 bouts as of 2018.

Let's Discuss
60
Sixty wins out of 69 bouts may be written as which can be read as “sixty – sixty
69
ninths.” This is an example of fraction.
Let’s have another example.
Dovie brought home a plate of rectangular banana cake. She sliced the cake into 4
equal parts. Her son, Jai, ate one slice of it. What part of the cake did Jai eat?

"What part" refers to a fraction. This means that fraction is a part of a whole. One slice of a cake
represents one-fourth. One-fourth in symbols is

1
4

The number above the fraction bar is called numerator. It tells the number of slices of
banana cake Jai ate.

The number below the fraction bar is called denominator. It tells the number of equal
parts into which the whole banana cake is divided.
60
In the fraction ,60 is the numerator and 69 is the denominator.
69
The fraction bar or the line that separates the numerator from the denominator is called
vinculum.
Fractions could also be used to identify part of the set.
Example: In a box, there are 5 marbles. Two marbles are black. What part of the
marbles is black?

Since there are 2 black marbles and there are 5 marbles in all, black marbles represent
2
of the marbles.
5
In this example, 2 is the numerator and 5 is the denominator.
Kinds of Fractions

Fractions can be classified as proper, improper and mixed number.


A proper fraction is a fraction whose value is less than 1.
1
∧2
Its numerator is less than its denominator. From the previous examples, 4 are
5
proper fractions.
An improper fraction is a fraction whose value is equal to or greater than 1. Its
5
∧11
numerator is equal to or greater than its denominator. Examples are 4 5
3
7 3
A mixed number is composed of a whole number and a fractional part such 1 ∧4 .
9 5
1
∧1
A fraction with a numerator of one is called unit fraction. Examples are 6
.
