Whole Numbers and Fractions
A whole number can be represented as a fraction and vice-versa.
For example:
The whole number 3 can be represented as a fraction with denominator 1.
3 = |
|
Now, suppose we need to write the whole number 3 as a fraction with denominator 2.
That is, we need to find the numerator in this:
3 = |
|
Here, to identify the missing numerator,
we need to find the equivalent fraction of |
|
So, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2.
|
= |
|
So, the missing numerator is 6.
