What Are Fractions?
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In 
mathematics, fractions are ratios. A fraction represents a proportional relationship between a part or parts and the whole. Some fractions can be accurately represented with a combination of whole numbers and decimals. Fractions can be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided.
When changing fractions into decimals and percentages, it is necessary to see fractions as division problems. The top number is divided by the bottom number. 

Directions
