Identify Fractions

When we read a fraction, we read the top number first (the numerator – how many) then the bottom number (the denominator – what type). 

We have special words for some fractions =>
1⁄2 = one half.
1⁄4 = quarter.
3⁄4 = three quarters.
1⁄3 = one third

After that, we put -ths on the end of the number =>
5⁄6 = five sixths
2⁄17 = two seventeenths

Example 1 =>
1⁄7 = one seventh

Example 2 =>
three fifteenths = 3⁄15
