What is a Fraction?

Fraction comes from the Latin fractus, broken. In mathematics, a fraction is a concept of a proportional relation between an object part and the object whole.

A fraction is an example of a specific type of ratio, in which the two numbers are related in a part-to-whole relationship, rather than as a comparative relation between two separate quantities.

A fraction is a quotient of numbers, where the numerator is divided by the denominator.

Adam Johnson- Adjective Descriptive

Adam Johnson was a boy who loved soccer and was always ready for a joke. One morning, he left his yard and began riding his bicycle to school. He turned left out of his street and then rode along Walker Street, feeling very happy and excited. Tomorrow is his birthday and he was thinking about the rolls and cake that his mother would be baking. He knew it was silly because he was too far away but he turned his head back towards home anyway, to see if he could smell them cooking. As a result, he didn't see the cat crossing his path. His bicycle's wheel hit her and then twisted around under. Adam and the bike went flying through the air and the cat bruised but not badly hurt, ran off fast.
