Instructions
Read each question carefully. Remember that a fraction shows division. The fraction bar (the line between the numbers) means the same thing as the division symbol (÷). The top number (numerator) is the number being shared or divided. The bottom number (denominator) is the number of groups you are dividing by.
Example: The fraction 1/2 is the same as saying 1 ÷ 2.
