Fraction

This is an expression which consists of a numerator and a denominator

A numerator is the upper of top value of a fraction

A denominator is the lower or bottom value of a fraction

  • Number of counters Adam has = 18
  • Number of counters Adam gave to Lesley = 10

Number of counters Adam has left = Number of counters Adam has - Number of counters Adam gave to Lesley

= 18 - 10

= 8

Fraction of the 18 counters Lesley get = Number of counters Adam gave to Lesley / Number of counters Adam has

= 10/18

= 5/9

Fraction of the 18 counters Adam have now = Number of counters Adam has left / Number of counters Adam has

= 8 / 18

= 4/9

In conclusion, the fraction of counters Adam have now after giving out 10 counters to Lesley is 4/9
