Fractions

Fractions or rational numbers can take all kinds of format. Decimal fractions have a decimal point between the whole and the partial numbers; a numerator separated from its denominator by a vinculum denotes what most people think of as a fraction.  In addition to this, there are partial, improper and algebraic fractions, not to mention percentages and ratio.

Equivalent fractions point to the same place on the number line. They have the same value and so are equal to each other. This sometimes proves useful when doing calculations with fractions as moving formats sometimes makes the calculation easier to do. Often, fractions, decimals and percentages are referred to as FDP.
