Across
- 3. a fraction whose numerator is larger than its denominator, for example, 8/4 and 6/3 are improper fractions.
- 5. the part of a fraction below the dividing line. For example the 2 in ½ is the denominator. It is equivalent to the divisor in a long division problem.
- 6. to reverse the order or position of numbers. In fractions, inverting means reversing the positions of the numerator and denominator so that ¾ becomes ⁴⁄₃. When dividing fractions, one fraction is inverted.
Down
- 1. fractions having different numerators and denominators but still having equal values, such as the fractions 1/2 and 2/4.
- 2. the part of the fraction above the dividing line. For example, the 1 in ½ is the numerator. It is equivalent to the dividend in a long division problem.
- 4. a combination of a whole number with a fraction or a decimal. Examples of mixed numbers are 3 7/16, 5.75, and 1 ¼.
