2/200 or 0.0025

"numerator" is the TOP number in a fraction. "denominator" is the BOTTOM number in a fraction. A fraction with numerator of 2 and denominator of 13 would be 2/13.

3/5 can be changed to a decimal by doing a division. A fraction represents a division....numerator divided by denominator. 3/5 means 3 divided by 5. DO the division, and compare the result to 0.59.

Use the same approach on 6/4. That means "6 divided by 4"
