Question

Explain how ratios can be written as a fraction. Which value is the numerator and which is the denominator of the fraction? Give an example.

Answer 1

Answer:

p:q could be written as $\frac{p}{q}$ in fraction form

In fraction form $\frac{p}{q}$ p is the numerator and q is the denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to explain, how ratios can be written as a fraction.

We also need explain which part of the ratio is a numerator and which part of the ratio is a denominator.

A ratio is written in the form p : q.

It can be read as p ratio q.

p:q could be written as $\frac{p}{q}$ in fraction form.

Top number in a fraction is a numerator and bottom number in a fraction is a denominator.

In fraction form $\frac{p}{q}$ p is the numerator and q is the denominator.

Example : 2:3 could be written as $\frac{2}{3}$, where numerator is 2 and denominator is 3.
