What is a fraction? And how do they work?

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction represents a part of a whole or, more generally, any number of equal parts. When spoken in everyday English, a fraction describes how many parts of a certain size there are, for example, one-half, eight-fifths, three-quarters.                                                                                                                     A fraction will include two numbers, one above the other. The first number, found above the line, is the numerator. The second number, located below the line, is the denominator. A denominator indicates the total number of equal parts into which something is divided

 A number expressed as a quotient, in which a numerator is divided by a denominator.

Fraction work to represent a segment of a whole number.
