What is the name of the upper number involved in a fraction?

Player #2532027, Basic math such as fractions, decimals and percentages is important. That's why we were taught these skills in early elementary school.

'math' classes are calculator classes. These classes leave young people ...no idea how to even make change ...can't work in a bank or if computers are down..we are teaching students how to charge down hill like a lemming to the sea after the golden machine!! same happening in the lost ' long hand' who came up with that and why was it accepted? any one can come up with a new idea...how about common sense..grief!! where is reason and logic. under a rug.

The fraction bar is called a vinculum.

Now then, colonials, can we just get this straightened out once and for all...? The subject is mathematics, shortened to maths. Kindly note the "s" at the end of both words. Thank you. 🙂

in the late 60's we were taught to remember the ship that sank off of Palos Verdes, CA, the "Dominator". It would remind us that the denominator was on/at the bottom. It always worked for me!

AliTob, In the US, it’s “math,” no s. It’s like milk, no s.

Player #9113963, Not my math classes! The only calculators we use are brains and pencils!

thankyou high school math!

If Maths,Physics and Chemistry was banned I could have been gr8 in my school academics due to this subject I couldn't focus on other subjects too that's why probably I got 80+ in Social science but had bad result in these two subjects science n mathematics

In Fraction Denominator is the lower number where as Numerator is the upper number👍

Player #9113963, Too much greed and drugs in The USA nowadays!

Player #9113963, um, excuse me!!! I am still at school and we have a strict rule- no calculators! We use our minds and work out the answers. I come first on class, and i have not once used a calculator.

maths - mental abuse to humans

Very hard question indeed 😁🤣

Easy question for those who loves math just like me!!

Being a medical student I literally forgot all about Math🔢🔣

D..for Down, That's how I was taught and how I remember since it's simple.

Such Easy Questions😂😂

Seriously many people actually hit the denominator option?

knowbrains, Me TOO, That's how I got it right. I remembered my teacher, also about 50 years ago... I like to give these new kids, odd amounts of change, & watch the dumbfounded looks on their faces.... HA!

worried about y'all

Good question but one option is acute not actue

Player #2532027, Your comment worries me. Simple math is actually something we really need to help us get through life. Do students now just use calculators?

I always loved working with fractions in school.
