                    monu's mat

                    Monu’s mat has 9 squares. 4 squares are painted red.
                                                                      4
                    The fraction representing red squares =
                                                                      9

                    Here, 4 is called the Numerator and 9 is called the Denominator of the fraction.
                    A fraction is written with two numbers arranged one over the other and separated by
                    a horizontal line. The number above the line is called the Numerator and the number
                    below the line is called the Denominator of the fraction.

                    example. Identify the numerator and denominator of:
                                     5                                             6
                                 a.                                           b.
                                     7                                             11
                                        5                                             6
                    Solution.  a.  In  , numerator = 5,                       b.  In     , numerator = 6,
                                        7                                             11
                                    denominator = 7                                denominator = 11
