In fraction, the number above is called numerator and the bottom number called denominator.
x ⇒ numerator
y ⇒ denominator
There are many kinds of fraction, two of them are proper fraction and improper fraction.
Proper Fraction is when the numerator is smaller than the denominator, for example: ²/₃, ²/₄, ³/₅, ⁴/₈
When a number multiply by a proper fraction the result will smaller than the original number, for example number 15:
[tex]\boxed {15 \times\frac{3}{5} = 9 }\\ \boxed {15 \times\frac{2}{10} = 3}[/tex]
We can see that the result is smaller than the original number.
Improper Fraction is when the numerator is bigger than the denominator, for example: ⁴/₃, ⁸/₃, ¹⁰/₄
Let's see what happen when number 15 multiplied by an improper fraction
[tex]\boxed {15 \times\frac{10}{3} = 50 }\\ \boxed {15 \times\frac{5}{3} = 25 }[/tex]
We can see that when a number multiplied by an improper fraction the result is bigger than the original number.
