  2. Identifying Numerators and Denominators In a fraction, the top number is called the numerator and the bottom number is called the denominator. The bar between the numbers is called the fraction bar.

  3. Identifying Numerators and Denominators and Reviewing Division Properties for 0 and 1 Practice Problems 9 2 10 17 Numerator is Denominator is Numerator is Denominator is Simplify P 109-110

  4. Example Write the fraction to represent the shaded part of the figure. In this figure, 4 out of the 7 equal parts are shaded. Thus the fraction is .

  5. Example 109 Write the fraction to represent the shaded part of the diagram. In this diagram, 3 out of the 10 equal parts are shaded. Thus the fraction is .

  6. Example Draw a figure and then shade a part of it to represent the fraction . Since the denominator is 6, we divide the rectangle into 6 equal parts. Then we shade 5 of the equal parts.
