Write a fraction that has two as
the numerator and five as the denominator.
When we write fractions, the number
on the bottom is called the denominator. This tells us the number of equal
parts that the shape or the number has been divided into. And we’re told that the denominator
in this fraction is a five. When we divide a shape into five
equal parts, we call each part a fifth. Now that we’ve written the
denominator in our fraction, we just need to write the top number, the
numerator. We’re told that our faction has a
two as the numerator. We could model this by shading two
of our five equal parts. If a fraction has two as the
numerator and five as the denominator, then the fraction is two-fifths.
