alleryIn a fraction, which part names the number of equal parts being described?
AQuotient
BDenominator
CDivisor
DNumerator
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Numerator
1. A fraction has two parts: one counts parts, the other names their type.
2. The part that counts the equal parts being described is the numerator.
3. The denominator names the type of part (fifths, quarters), so it is not the answer; divisor and quotient belong to division.
